tps evaluating for ii issues

[SportsterDoc]

Try as I may, I do not seem to be able to convince anyone to check for vacuum leaks or snug the intake clamps...but I will keep preaching! These may not be a single issue, but would still insure that they are secure.

Hi SportsterDoc. Thank you so much for all the work you're doing to help resolve this issue. Can I gain access to all of the intake clamps by lifting the rear of the gas tank, or does the tank have to be removed? Thanks to your persistence, I am going to check the clamps (asap).

All eight clamps are accessible, without removing anything.
4 from the left and 4 from the right.
To check mine, I used a 1/4" drive ratchet, 6" extension with a 8mm socket.
If the bolt heads (combo 8 mm/#2 Phillips) are not exactly at 12 o'clock, a universal joint may help.

No need to over-tighten, just use a couple fingers on the wrench, close to the ratchet.
