Pinging again...like riding 2 different bikes

I say it's heat. I've read a lot about this and it keeps coming back to heat.
I do have a head fan unit from a member on this forum. Was gonna wait till summer to write a review but I can tell you it lowers head temps dramatically
It wouldn't surprise me a bit if that solved your problem.
Best of luck

.."accelerator pump" feature on the PCV does nothing for slow revving V-Twins, (except waste gas). The best position on that is "off". It is only useful for high revving sport bikes..it doesn't shoot a burst of gas in on a fuel injected bike... sounds to me like your issue is related to heat....
Yeah the old Linkert and S&S B guys said the same thing when AMF and S&S came out with accelerator pumps on their next generation Super carbs.
To each his own, I run a leaner MAP overall and compensate for ping experienced at throttle twist by enabling the accelerator pump option

Make sure you're talking about ping and not valve train rattle. My 103 Ultra will rattle at 2500-3000+ RPM after it warms up. Its a random noise, and sounds like the ball in a can of spray paint when shaken. It hasn't gotten worse, but it is irritating, since it sounds like something is loose in the valve train.
I'm waiting for the day some wise mechanic can accurately diagnose this problem

You'll notice primarily 2 degree changes in the cruise range gradually increasing up to 4 degrees at WOT and higher RPM.
I'm not suggesting that my timing curve is what you need although you could try it. I'm presenting this simply to explain my methodology and to show the results. This is what was necessary for my bike, my conditions, my fuel, etc., to completely eliminate the pinging.

....ya..ya..I was runnin B's in the mid 70's..the Super E was the carb to have..and yes, you could see the squirt..these "accelerator" pump features don't do squat...turn it on..turn it off..doesn't change much..if a bike is properly tuned on a dyno..it doesn't/shouldn't need more gas...
I am sure you can dyno tune out anything, i don't have a dyno, I tune by the seat of my pants the same way I tuned the B's and E's of my past, and i use the accelerator pump function of my PCV to eleminate ping at throttle twist therefore providing the opportunity to run an overall leaner map. Works for me
