Default V&H fuel pak problems? Or HD ECM?

2008 Anniversary Deluxe. V&H fuel pak, Stage 1 A/C, and V&H Softail duals. Using the maps from
vh. Sometimes the bike will not restart when hot. It stumbles and runs terrible and will stall w/o any throttle. We've found that if you turn the ignition off and then back on 98% of the time it will
fire right up. If the ign is not cycled you can try to start it 100 times and when it is messed up it stays that way until you cycle the ign switch.

We have had two calibrations installed with the quiet and stock baffles to match the changes. It has happened with both.

Anyone else having this issue?


The latest issue was that the bike stalled at a stop sign today and then restarted and was ok.

Throttle position is off. Read paper work that comes with it. It will tell you how to use is or call them.

As a follow up, I phoned V&H after reading multiple threads in here on the throttle calibration step. They told me to roll on and off the throttle in a steady controlled manner. Not just slam it WFO and release to close. The tech I spoke to suggested taking a count of 3-4 to roll on and off. Ever since I did that I haven't had any throttle issues whatsoever

I have redone that once alreadywhen changing the baffles but will try again. Only takes a couple minutes. I wonder if the Values are changing when the bike is hot?

I think I read somewhere that it must be done cold, like overnight cold.

Well it is freezing here. I will try that tonight. It is very intermitant though. It might take a few rides to see if it helps or not.
