Dieseling, running on after shut off?

Question

why does the d**n bike do that once in awhile? it lasts for about 2 secs. 95 FLHR

Answer 1

Low octane, or the rear cylinder gets too hot from not enough cooling air. Try shifting it out of 1st gear when you ride. Pee on the rear cylinder before shutting down. I like to space the taverns a few miles apart when I ride. That works the best.

Answer 2

Hey, B.O.B...best answer is the carbon deposits, probably. Add an ounce or two of Marvel Mystery Oil to your gas tank about every other fillup. This will soften carbon and help move it on out the tailpipe. As for the rude answers, those guys will get old like us some day, too...if they live. K ;o)

Answer 3

Usually from carbon build up on the valves getting red hot and igniting the fuel air mixture even with the spark off.

Answer 4

put in a can of stuff called"sea foam" it will stopp doing this.

Answer 5
