  • Just heading down to the shop to get a 99 Harley Davidson FLH up and running smoothly. The bike is equipped with a Magneti Marelli fuel injection system which is known for causing a few issues. Hopefully we can find the cure for her.

    I have a 1998 Road King Classic with Magnetti Marrelli fuel injection. The bike has a 121,000 miles on it and still runs beautifully. I thought about changing to a carburetor and took it to my independent Harley-Davidson dealer. He looked at the mileage and at that time it had a 110,000 miles on it. He looked at the odometer and said....Does that say a 110,000 miles? He said I would not change over to a carburetor..just keep riding with the fuel injection. Magnetti Marrelli is really not that difficult...it's just that modern technicians are not taught anything about the older bikes..Maybe I just got lucky...but I love it.

      exactly. It’s not a bad system. Just shitty mechanics. The system is very finicky with the TPS center tune it by feel it’ll run great.

    Ive just gotten a 2000. same exact bike and sounds like the same mufflers. It would have been nice to see the idle actually being adjusted. Yeah I know the EFI is an oddity only used for a few years. once it gets to be a pain in the ass, I'll dephi or carb it.

    Set the base TPS to .275v and then make your adjustment to idle… then adjust air bleed

    Try the ENGINE TEMPERATURE SENSOR. When the bike is hot it will run and idle like crap. Soon as I changed that sensor, ran like a new bike! My bike is a 1997 FLHTPI.

    • @fatotis6273
      @fatotis6273 2 месяца назад

      The Temp Sensor is the most common problem, makes the bike run rich. Mine is a 1996, 90k miles and runs great. Temp Sensor will usually not have any fault codes or check engine light. Sensor still provides a signal, but as the age they loose calibration and fuel injection thinks the bike is cold when it is not.

    I thought you said the Marelli system was horrible? A couple adjustments and some new intake seals on a 20+ year old bike and it runs great. That ain't a horrible system by any stretch. It was one of the first EFI systems on a production motorcycle and the first ever on a Harley. My 1999 still still starts and runs great.

  • @mikegodsey1490

  • @clydecare
    @clydecare Месяц назад

    Is the fuel pump connected to the front or rear quick connect on the tank? Does the pump connect into short connection to the intake or the longer line? Trying to fix a Harley after a tweeker touched it. And he replaced the quick connects. He put the return in the forward hole in tank. And the pump connected to the rear hole in tank. Short line goes into the intake via pressure regulator. Is that the direction the gas should flow? Or should it feed injectors thru longer hose into intake feeding injectors?

  • @clintdenman3037
    @clintdenman3037 Год назад +1

    To be fair on both sides while some injection is not bad and now pump fuel is pretty much useless after 4 weeks but for a daily rider I still think carby is the best way, you have a little bit of battery you can push a Harley in a top gear and get started but fuel injection no chance.

      Magneti marelli or cv carburetor, look under the left side of fuel tank, 2 lines is magneti marelli 1 line is carb and 02 and up is delphi or carb depending on the bike

    I would replace my MM with a carburetor but then I guess I could put a hand crank on my car too. I worked on MM on Ferrari cars and you just have to know about them. The only rub is that finding new parts like a fuel pump assembly is hard but they are out there. back in the early 20-0's Hrley Davidson flirted with Ferrari for MM fuel injection the way they did with Porsche for the engine on the V-Rod.
