this condition IS deffinately heat related. i reproduced the problem again today, it was 106* at 4:30pm, and i went on a 25 mile run and as long as i kept moving, it was ok. i stopped at the harley shop for a few minutes(15 miles into the run), and let some heat build while parked. when i left the harley shop it acted up, i pulled over and switched to PRI, it seemed to clear up, so i stopped at the chopper shop, to visit for a few minutes and build some heat again. when i left the chopper shop, it acted up again, BUT, this time it did not clear up, 3 miles home, pop,pop,pop, low rpm under load, pull the clutch in and motor revs fine ??? i pulled the petcock to check the filter, nothing to report there, a tiny bit of dirt, but nothing to be of any concern. as long as i had the petcock in my hand, it seemed like good idea to convert it to a manual type, so i did that. by the time i reassembled the bike for a test ride, the sun was headed over the horizon, and the temp had cooled to something closer to 100*, so the heat wasn't a factor anymore, and the bike ran fine. we will test ride it again tomorrow in the heat of the day. we are supposed to see 110* saturday.
