2009 Dyna Lowrider Engine Cuts Out When Hot

High traffic today took three cycles to get through the light; air temperature 77 degrees today here in Phoenix. I could feel excessive heat before this happened because of the long idle.

Engine quit but restarted after a few minutes. Had this happen three more times at stop lights on the way home.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Vacuum to gravity flow fuel delivery?

Hey all, I'm looking at purchasing a '98 wide glide with the evo motor...question is, they recently replaced the fuel petcock and blocked off the vacuum port to the carb which now changes it to a gravity flow type fuel delivery. How does this affect things? I figured you'd need the vacuum pulse to pull fuel? Thoughts?

Dyna burps up oil from the air filter.

Hey guys just a quick question for anyone that's got an idea why and can explain.

Whenever I go for a ride and make a quick stop, turn my bike off for a couple minutes while I run my errands, fill up gas, etc. and hop back on, when I turn the engine over it sputters and coughs out oil from the oil filter (i believe) onto the timing cover. It doesn't really run poorly though. Just the start up it sputters.

It doesn't happen if I let it sit for like half an hour or so. Starts up fine and runs fine.

Any idea what's going on here?

2011 FXDC questions

I just got an “11 superglide custom with 12k miles. Stage 2 motor, new tires, fresh fluids, and all the chrome anyone could ever want. Whole rear end (axle, brake components, rim, bearings, etc) was replaced due to previous owner having a blowout. Paid $8k. What are some common issues to look out for, and is this a decent price? The title is still clean.

New seat recommendations

Looking to upgrade my harley 2 up seat on my 2007 street bob. The bike also has forward controls. I know saddleman is the most popular but I’ve also heard mixed reviews about them.

Adjustable pushrod / lifter question

Adjustable pushrod / lifter question. Not a Dyna specific question, but would Welcome feedback: Soaked lifters in oil and bled air with a homemade vacuum contraption. It was getting late, so I figured I would install the adjustable push rods the next day. The dilemma is that having sat overnight in a bike without oil, technically, they are not “fully pumped“ Lifter blocks were a tedious PITA to install. So I’d rather not disturb them in order to remove and re-soak the lifters. Wondering if I can just do an initial install of adjustable push rods, fill the bike with oil and crank the engine over ( without spark plugs ) a handful of times to build up pressure and then maybe readjust? By turning the push rod adjusters a set number of turns, wouldn’t the preload be the same whether or not they are fully pumped?

Does anyone have a part number for the swing arm bushing?

I need the bushing for the swing arm, have been researching trying to find it, but am coming up short. Does anyone have a part number or a link that they would be willing to share? Thank you in advance for you help.

Edit: other than the entire rebuild kit on J&P. Don’t need all of it, just the bushings

Also, 1996 FXDS-conv

Exhaust

I have an 06 street bob I’m wanting to throw on a 2-1 exhaust. What all is needed to be done as far as intake or fuel for the bike to continue to run correctly? Or is the exhaust enough to cause any major changes?
