INTAKE LEAK TEST

GENERAL

Do not allow open flame or sparks near propane. Propane
is extremely flammable, which could cause death or ser-
ious injury. (00521b)

Read and follow warnings and directions on propane
bottle. Failure to follow warnings and directions can result
in death or serious injury. (00471b)

NOTES

•

To prevent false readings, keep air cleaner cover installed
when performing test.

•

Do not direct propane into air cleaner. It will cause false
readings.

•

Be careful when testing vehicle with Screamin' Eagle air
cleaner assembly. This type of air cleaner has an open
backplate. Even with air cleaner cover on, directing nozzle
too close to backplate can give false readings.

PROCEDURE

Start engine.

Warm up engine to operating temperature.

NOTE

Do not direct propane stream toward air cleaner. If propane
enters air cleaner, a false reading will be obtained.

See

Figure 4-52

. Aim nozzle (3) toward possible sources

of leak such as intake manifold mating surfaces.

Press and release trigger button (2) to dispense propane.
Tone of engine will change when propane enters source
of leak. Repeat as necessary to detect leak.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM

GENERAL

Motorcycles sold in some markets are equipped with an
evaporative (EVAP) emissions control system. See

Figure 4-53

The EVAP system functions as follows:

•

The fuel vapor vent tube is connected to the vent tube on
the fuel tank top plate. It allows fuel vapors in the fuel tank
to be vented to the charcoal canister.

•

Under certain engine conditions, the ECM (working in
conjunction with the EFI system relay) opens the purge
solenoid. Negative pressure (vacuum) draws the fuel
vapors in the charcoal canister through the purge tube to
the induction module. They are then burned as part of the
normal combustion process.

Keep evaporative emissions vent lines away from exhaust
and engine. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00266a)

NOTE

The EVAP system has been designed to operate with a min-
imum of maintenance. Check that all tubes are correctly routed
and properly connected. Also, verify that the tubes are not
pinched or kinked. Verify that there is no contact between the
tubes and engine parts.
