Motor Backfires and Stalls

by Victoria
(Timmins, ON Canada)

I own a 2001 heritage Softail classic. It backfires and it stalls. Would you know the source of the problem? Sparkplugs have been changed, throttle body cleaned, injector wires and connections checked, and coil wires checked. The problem got worst, now it stalled. I always use premium gas in my tank.

backfires and poor idle
by: Diane

With your bike idleing, spray some carb cleaner around the area where the exhaust pipe goes into the engine. If the engine sound changes, you have a bad seal. Exhaust/Intake seals are a common failure in Harleys.

You have an air leak . Check your throttle body intake gaskets, or bad injector.

Mate, It sounds like a fuel/carby problem. Put some injector cleaner in with your next full tank of fuel.
