Default I need help! (conversion from efi to carb 103" m.y.2012)

I did the carb conversion on my deluxe 2012, but the engine doesn't work well. I must keep accellerate, I don't know the why. I did the same conversion on fat boy 2011 and nothing issues. I think that the problem is the new ECM (smaller).
Do you have any suggestion? please help me!!!

What does the ECM size have to do with it if you changed it to a Carb?

Actually what does the ECM size have to do with anything?

Probably the wrong forum to post this in my man. Have you looked into completing the conversion with an evo type cone ignition and doing away with the ecm all together? I think Vulcan Eng. sells a nice kit. I've heard the 12's have some messed up stuff with the ecm (tamper resistant?).

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.

I'm sorry, but you did not understand the meaning of the discussion

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!
