2005 PDI: Sportster Models 5-3
INSTALLING MAXI-FUSE
The 30 amp Maxi-Fuse provides battery power to the ignition
switch and ICM. The Maxi-Fuse is not installed at the factory.
It is mounted in protective foam attached to the left handlebar
grip of the motorcycle in the crate.
See Figure 5-2. The Maxi-Fuse holder is located under the
left side cover, attached to the battery strap. See the Sports-
ter Models Service Manual for the proper installation proce-
dure.
IDLE SPEED
See Figure 5-3. Set engine slow idle speed of 950 RPM with
engine running at normal operating temperature and with
enrichment control knob pushed in fully. Turn carburetor idle
speed adjusting screw (5) clockwise to increase speed, or
counterclockwise to decrease speed.
NOTE
The C.V. carburetor has an enrichment circuit that will cause
the engine to idle above the normal idle range (950-1050
RPM) with the engine at normal operating temperature and
the enrichment knob pulled out fully. The increase in idle
speed is intended to alert the rider that the engine is warmed
up to normal operating temperature and that the enrichment
knob should be pushed in all the way. Continuing to use the
enrichener when the engine is at full operating temperature
will cause fouled plugs.
Be sure the engine is warmed up to normal operating temper-
ature and the enrichment knob is pushed all the way in before
adjusting engine idle speed. Be aware that, because there
are variations in individual components, it is possible for a
properly warmed-up engine to idle above the normal idle
range (950-1050 RPM) with the enrichment knob pulled out
partially.
