- May 12, 2012, 11:59:57 AMIt showed no fault codes, but was flooding quite bad; I pulled the plugs, let it sit for an hour and a half, put the plugs in, and it started. Ran rough, pushed fuel out of the box on the back of the head (smog box) finally cleared out and ran fine. It stalled a couple of times at low speed (just off idle) but ran fine with the "choke) pulled out. I have put V&H Longshots on; AFTER getting it running I changed the fuel mapping for the Longshots,(Dynatech PCIIIUSB) and re-calibrated the throttle position; it was out by 2% at "throttle closed" and 3% at "throttle open".
Will try it again today; will post updates later.
Thanks for the info.

A strong spark is really important, so don't forget the battery. After sitting for months, fuel and battery would at the top of my list.
The ecu will show a fault code for fuel pump, injectors, sensors, etc. A lot of bases are covered.

- May 11, 2012, 14:06:50 PMWell, went out to the shop to get my Drifter running, (haven't run it since last fall except to start for 5-10 minutes a few times this winter) turned the key on, all appropriate lights came on, hit the start button, it turned over about 6 times, I thought "Hmm; that's odd, it usually fires right up". So I hit the starter again, KAPOW!!! it back-fired out the front head pipe. Now it won't start or fire; pulled the plugs, it is firing, ( checked the plugs against the head) and is flooding. Anybody with a solution? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance;
