Sorry it was vulcanworks.
Fdb2007 I'm guessing thats why he couldn't find it, but instead of being a d-bag, I helped him out. I hope you never have a problem fdb, oh wait I'm sure you'll pay harley to do it, and claim it as your own.
We're not all ****** over here mauro. I figured you would get responses such as this, I think it great you converted your bike. Carbs forever!

OK, that said Maury,
Did you go back and reread tha data that came with your conversion? Everything hooked up properly?
Is there a leak in the manifold/vacuum line somewhere? If you got it running, spray some carb cleaner around the connections and see if it revs up?
Do you still have a fuel pump running? Seems to me that could cause it to load up, which it sounds like it might be.
Float stuck on the carb?
Choke operating properly?
What do the spark plugs look like? Black, smell like gas?
I gotta believe there is some kind of dummy load tricking the ECU into believing everything is right and completing whatever logic going on in the ECM. All the data from the sensors, ie crank position, O2 sensors etc. Is it compatible to the '12?
Still a mystery to me why one would convert a brand new EFI bike to a carb, but good luck in solving your problem.

FDB & Poppa: I recall Mauro mentioning in another thread that it was easier for him to fix a carbed bike than an EFI. With the EFI he would have to take it to his dealer where repairs were quite costly. The bike being carbed allowed him to do the work. Hopefully, he'll chime in set it straight.

Its like going back to the stone age again.....I'll say it cause I've been drinkin'...well that's what you get, what convinced you a carb was better than EFI? Apparently, you got more money than sense. You whipped out a tape measure to check the difference between your 2011 ECU and your 2012 ECU? You don't know how to type Vulcan into the Google machine to find a website? Are you for real? OK, I will go back to the Makers Mark, sorry to all those I may have offended--I know most of you are thinkin' the same thing though.
