Failing Harley fuel injection especially on pre 2002 models is pretty common, the old Magneti Marelli has some issues but you do have options. Harley's first fuel injected models started in 1995 with Magneti Marelli and this system was used through 2001 when in the 2002 model year Harley switched to the much more reliable Delphi system. So before you buy a 2001 or earlier fuel injected Harley you'll want to know what you're getting into. These early systems have issues, problems are hard to diagnose, tuning for performance isn't really an option. Fortunately you have a couple options, you can convert to a new Delphi injection system or even convert the bike back over to a carburetor.

Although the Delphi system is working fine, I’ve noticed that some parts are no longer available and I prefer to be proactive rather than reactive. I’ll continue to ride it until next fall/winter when I intend to just do the conversion. Thanks for putting up this vid as well as all your others.

Great video. And yes converting to carb of Delphi is always a nice option. But for those who still are running the MM system I do have a few tips and tricks to help solve some of the main problems with them. I've been tuning harleys from flat heads to current M8 models for 18+ years. And have used every carb and efi system out there (including all the different flash tuners, replacement ECM and piggyback systems out there) so off the bat I yes I have a good grasp on these things. The first thing you have to remember is that the MM system is VERY basic in its workings. Most of the time if the ecm itself is fine its usually something basic wrong with them. Idle problems usually being the most common. Here are the most common issues I run into with the MM 1. Intake seals, If you have ever removed the throttle body for an MM bike you will see that the fitment of the manifold between the heads is very loose, more so on the EVO bikes. James makes a intake seal to replace the standard 26995-86B with a seal that covers the end of the manifold like a hat. this makes the manifold wider for a tighter seal. This is a must for these if you are replacing them. I used them for the first time back 2002 and I always use them now. Leaking intake seals give the engine somewhere else to draw air in. And like i said these are a very simple and basic EFI. Both cold and hot idles use manual screw settings like a carburetor and don't have the ability to chase idle. 2. Lately I have had several MM bikes that came in running, But running like total crap. After checking and in tern replacing the leaking intake seals, idles improved but there was something else not quite right. Some did have multiple ECM codes, others did not. Each one was fixed by replacing the system and EFI relays. Due to the age of the them the contacts inside have seen a better day. And again being a simple system, unlike modern EFI systems, when the detect low voltage they shutdown to protect themselves, MM don't. They will still try to run and with the low voltage they can not supply both sensors and injectors with proper operating voltage. I have also found myself changing them on later Delphi bikes, mostly the main 30 or 40 amp main breaker. 3. Injector Wires. This applies to the MM and the early Delphi systems. When the bikes are made Harley uses the GIVE THEM JUST ENOUGH WIRE mentality. Both on the MM and early Delphi (PRE 2006) the wires are quite tight. Over time the up and down motion of the engine can cause the copper wire inside to brake. and once that last copper strand breaks it becomes a big Buell Blast. The outside of the wire will look fine but once removed from the injector you'll find it to be a limp noodle usually right at the connector. Adding a inch to the wires with new connector pins fixes it right up. 4. Crank and Cam position sensors. A good rule of thumb is if you are still running the stock cam and crank sensors, you should change them on principle. Mainly the crank position sensor. The crank sensor is the ECM's eyes and is how it calculates the engine's rotational position. If it can't see, it can't run. But most importantly the stock sensors for both MM and some early Delphi, the end of the sensor closest to the crank has and exposed metal point on it directly attached the mile long angle hair coil winding. If the piece comes loose you'll have all that winding in your crank bearings and then your bottomend is porked. Harley revised the sensors to be enclosed with both the replacement and later sensors to avoid this problem. 5. Engine temp sensor and wires. Now I've change lots and I mean lots of engine temp sensors on MM to present bikes. But with the MM they can really make your day suck. Being a very simple system they use the engine temp data for most of it operation. If you have a MM that runs well then as your riding falls on it's face hard, and after setting for a bit the bike run fine again, it's probably the engine temp sensor. The wires can also suffer from the aforementioned just long enough problem. And remember, broken wires will trip an ecm code. Bad sensor may not. As long as the reading from the sensor are within operational range it won't trip a code. Think of it like this. Running down the road hot you'll be around 240 Deg F. Now all of the sudden the ecm thinks its now at -10 deg F. Thinking the bike is in a block of ice the ecm adjust fuel and timing for that temp. But because it' still in its operational range it didn't trip a code. Delphi is worlds smarter and can usually see a massive and fast temp drop and throw a code. Those are most of the main issues I deal with when it comes to the MM system. I'm not saying don't upgrade to a Delphi replacement or carbing the bike, but it can be an expensive upgrade that alot of my customer can't afford. The MM system does have its limitations, I would NEVER throw a 124in Crate engine behind it hoping to make it run. But I have done both 95 in and 103 in kits with 105+ HP & TRQ and made them run great. Use of a Powercommander or a Techno Research Directlink flashing tool (Like a Race Tuner, Powervision, TTS but for the MM) will have to be used but there is still life left in the old MM bikes for those who are on a budget. And please use premium fuel. With the trash fuel we are stuck with today, I run 93 in my push mower. The buck or two you might spend at the pump is well worth the better running of the bike. :)

Switched my 98 Electra glide classic over to carburetor. Pangel kit for the tank, forward facing petcock, CV40 carb, Intake and gasket, PVC crossover tube "for the head breathers", and Daytona twin tech ignition with the single fire coil. Hardest thing to locate was the breather backing plate. Ignition came with instructions. you'll need to replace the rotor bug from a single window to the dual window. Won't be able to static time the system. Didn't need anything from a harness. The only thing that didn't work when I fired it up was the tach. Just had to locate that wire and boom done. My oil pressure gauge, and fuel gauge all worked like they should. Removed all the extra wiring for the EFI, with no issues. Runs like a champ, just road it to Lake Charles, LA and back 1500miles without any mechanical issues. Have about 5k now still good.

I can live with the complications of old school far easier than I can live with the complications of trying to figure out what's wrong with a fuel injected system. I can fix a carb, I can't fix a computer controller.

What’s really fun is when my 2011 Ultra limited starts running very badly after about 25 miles of riding and take it to the dealership for repair. Then after they change fuel pump assembly, ECM, O2 sensors, Throttlebody assembly and they tell you it’s the wiring to the “Map sensor” connector. That’s not a serviceable part and requires a wiring harness replacement on the bike.

First, thanks Gix for your videos. I know you must put in a ton of research on them. Well done! ...... I recently finished a Mag to CV conversion on my low mileage 98 FLHP and couldn't be happier. The M&M rig worked fine. I'm just an old school guy that believes simple is better so I feel better with the carb setup on the road and far away. I simply unplugged all the shit on the EFI harness, Coiled it up neatly and secured it under the left side cover, Took off the throttle body and all the associated crap in the tank. Put in a Pingle petcock with their adapter and plug. I replaced the stock ignition with the Dynatek 2000 stand alone single fire ignition which I only had to cypher out and tap into the the stock ignition feed and in my case the Police tach. Real easy! I found a barely used CV carb that I went through and regasketed. Gathered up the intake and proper filter/breather mount. I replaced the top motor mount to the carb style one (mainly for the VOES and choke cable). Put on a VOES. Got several jets and dialed it all in. The only snafu was getting the right ignition timing cup. It was a fun project. Glad I did it. BTW my buddies 95 FLT has over 60K with the M&M and it's never missed a beat,

This is a great video for those who still have the MM system. Wish it would have been around in 2004 when mine threw a scrap iron fit. On a trip to the Smoky Mountains. My 99 Ultra would randomly drop the rear cylinder. It would come and go. I can fix most things. But I had zero knowledge of the MM system at the time. Luckily, a technician at the Harley dealer in Ashville NC, helped me get it figured out. His name was Cliff. The guy knew his way around a Harley. He spent pretty much all day on it. But finally found a loose pin inside an injector. This was a bitch to find. But he got it done. Not long after that that TC-88 threw a fit when a cam bearing failed. But, luckily I had warranty on it and HD fixed it. My brother-in-law still has that Ultra with 84k on it.

When it came to the fuel system the obvious choice was a carburettor but instead of having to mess around with wiring to be able to run an original ECU I opted to use a Morris magneto as no wiring required. Additionally it can all be fixed on the side of the road if need be easy to maintain new condenser and points $15 a year and small and fit in my tool roll. Regards Tim

Found a better solution, getting a new 2015 Limited as a replacement. Yup, the cost was a bit more, but that new injection system worked so much better than the Magneto Morelli system.... ;) I was happy with the 2001, as it was bumped up to 95 CI, and ran strong when the injection worked, but sometimes things happen that one would normally never consider.

Hello. Congratulations for the video, very well explained. I'm having a bit of luck with my Magneti Marelli as it was working fine. The problem is that I disassembled the bike to adjust the paintwork and, when I put it back together, I started to have difficulty riding at speeds greater than 80 km/h. After this speed there is a loss of power, the engine coughs and fuel consumption increases a lot. I replaced the fuel pump, filter and lines. I also changed the spark plugs and wires. I cleaned the air filter and vents. I suspect I'll have to change the fuel pressure regulator to get the engine power back. Let me know if you understand that I'm on the right track.

Swapped 3 MM systems out due to performance issues, fuel leaks and no parts available. I used the Dynatek 2000i on 2 and S&S Hi-4 on the other and used gold rotor cup. Single fire coil on 2 and dual fire on the other. New intake manifolds to support S&S Super E on 2 and CV on the other. Added VOES to each. Used the EFI harness and eliminated unnecessary circuits. I believe it’s 7 circuits out of 20+ that are used. Don’t recall exactly. Easy to tune. Saw increased performance, fuel economy and reliability. Still ride them and enjoy them much more post MM. Would and will do it again it a heartbeat!

Delphi with just an old Power Commander and no O2 sensors will still give you A LOT more performance options, with simple, modular troubleshooting and near-zero maintenance. It doesn't require reading tea leaves and runes sprinkled in chicken blood to get EXACTLY RIGHT. 99% of carbs were only ever just "close enough", adjusted by shadetree hacks, and they don't even stay that consistent over the years. Meanwhile, in 17 years, I had to replace one injector. Noid light diagnosed it in one step. Bought a used take-off from a wrecked cop bike on ebay for 20 bucks. Couldn't be easier or cheaper. No fiddling and futzing with mixture screws, no dead spots in the power curve, no "COUGH, KA-CHUG" that will make you drop the damn bike in a full-lean low-speed turnaround, no worrying about a fire if it goes down on the right side, no crud building up to clean out every year or so, no issues picking up fuel immediately again if you run it empty, no cold-natured hard starting - and the starter lasts a lot longer because it starts right up, EVERY time. I can change the fuel map with many times more precise and granular values with a USB cable instead of having to pull jets and play trial&error with spark plug temperatures, and If I went with one of the newer fuel mappers that use O2 sensors, all that would be sensed and adjusted about 127 times per second on the fly. There's really no comparison and no need for carburetors at all in a high-performance application anymore.

Biggest issues i have found with the MM system is the temp sensor in the head. Easy temporary fix with the right resistor.

As for the carb swap super simple and the wiring is easy if you leave the ecu in place to control the timing.

Does not appear to be that much more expensive, than going with a carb and less capable ignition. (carb, manifold, box, petcock etc = $ + TIME) I see in the comments that one fellow did so.

Installed a Pingle petcock & filter, S&S carb, coil, rotor and ignition module. Next is wiring the module and coil, replacing the throttle cables. Not sure if there's anything else needing to be done. All conversion videos I find here on KZfaq are on twin cams, nothing on FLHR evo's so I'm not sure what else I need to do. Tried running the ignition module wires to the coil through the back up the battery compartment but wires about 5" short so ran to the front and have about 4" extra. Trying to find wiring diagram for a carburated 98 FLHR but can't so far.

watching anybody with a new Harley and a low battery try to start it, only to watch the system have enough juice to turn the starter but not keep the ECM alive, so the bike wont start -- that's reason enough to me that carbs have always been better, period. Most people have zero idea what it's like to have a carb thats tuned 100% correctly. But when you do, especially the Harley CV carb, they're bulletproof reliable.

I'm assuming that the Evo improved during its production, so an early 90's copy would be better.................but I definitely want a carb. Am I hunting for a unicorn?

I'm not a certified motorcycle machanic.But do have mechanical skills.Im just thinking it's probably best to leave the EFI simply because it works.After riding at see level then going up north to ride in the mountains.The EFI had no issues at different elevations it ran and performed the same.Thanks for sharing but would love to see the how to switch from EFI to carb.Sounds like a fun project.

I’ve purchased a carbureted version from the UK. It had a HSR 42 on it, but it had the wrong size jets in it, Chinese shit , it is now all ready for the test, next week, I still have a problem with the alarm system on the bike, I have been looking 👀 for a dough bike, I did have someone come back to me and told me that I should link 2 wires to earth 🌍, 😂 I will wait until winter to see if it works, Stay safe catch up with you tomorrow, France.
