Spike Air Cleaner Help!

[Utopiapga]

Check to see if the screw is removed ride it see if it makes a difference. Check your plugs to see if you are running rich/lean before jetting. I would start small and work back...
Previous thread sound familiar???

I had the exact same problem when I first installed the the D&M Spike "raptor," but the problem was simply solved by removing the "bowl vent screw." Check out the S&S link...it mentioned removing the "bowl vent screw." Good luck.

It's the all new, vent my ears up is slide my cone over the slots is lots and lots of lost air flow is don't chew know. Get it? "I have a forced air feeder meter is me." Sheet metal slot me closed, its a miracle! Here I am putting 88, I reach aroundown at the cone and twist the ufck hold on did something happen!

Home he don't need to jetanshit. Home here needs to twistear your nuts in your zippers so you scream out loud. "I sea eye sea" said the, "See Weeds of the Penultimates."

I already should send back the blueprints of this simple trick to those 88's of ball pockets [no R&D WOTsoever]. Who designed this Madonna snow cone wardrobe Miss'Q!?? Stick it right up their collective ________ Fill in the blanks.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program. :2thumbs:

I also have the D&M Spike and have run it both ways. I used the same bolts to run it vertical. When I moved to the vertical position it looked like the holes for the vertical bolts were a different size but they were the same. The holes for vertical alignment just needed to be cleaned out because of the chroming process. Try running a tap through the hole and see if its just chrome in the holes. By the way mine just runs better vertical. When running my spike forward on cool or cold days at around 70-75mph mine would stumble some times and feel like a flat spot. On hot days no problem.....Vertical I have no problems no matter what the temps are.

I was looking at that today! I will try that! Looked like it would fit but just wouldn't thread in. Yeah I just wanna run it vertical and see how she runs. Plus I think I like the look better vertical!

Thanks!!

X2, Exactly the same scenario on my 06 K9... I am now running it vertical. I did, also, take the vent plug out as per S&S instructions... No problems since.

10-4 Franco thanks!!

Also you may want to may sure you have the right support bracket. I bought a D&M twister with a knockoff support bracket that will not allow it to mount vertical. I actually like it forward but its a personal choice.

Why would you quote from another thread? And do the same quote on two totally different threads? :argue:

Just trying to help Hollywood... the Threads ARE related in some way (bowl vent plug, etc)

10-4 Franco thanks!!

AND THE WINNER IS.........................

Mickeetwo!!!! I looked closer and decided to bring a tap home from work today! and........................WELLAH!!!!.................I know have it vertical!! The holes where the same just need to clean the start out then they screwed right in. Will take her out this weekend and see how she runs but I think I definately like the look better this way anyway!:2thumbs:
