Group,

 

On the way back from our Mississippi River run in July my engine started
missing to the point where I could barely keep it running even at freeway
speeds. I did make it home and found that my fuel pump was leaking. I
changed out the fuel pump and added a clear gas fuel filter before the fuel
pump the problem appeared to have been solved.  Last week during a lake
shore ride to see the Harley's here in Milwaukee for the 105th  she started
missing again. The engine would die but I was able to get it started again
and proceed towards home. The new fuel pump appears to be working and the
timing is at 16 btdc.  Bad fuel? Dirty/rusty fuel tank? Any ideas would be
welcome.

 

Thanks

 

Steve Harvey
