How do i adjust screaming eagle pushrods
I think the SE pushrods have a 32 TPI pitch on the threads. If so, with the tappet all the way down in it's bore, adjust the pushrod longer until it make contact with the tappet plunger. Now, continue to lengthen the pushrod by 18 flats or three turns. Allow the tappet to bleed down before you turn the engine over. When you can turn the pushrod with your fingers, you can safely turn the engine.
The object is to adjust the plunger in the hydraulic tappet to approximately the middle of it's travel. The tappest have about 0.200" of travel. So, you want to adjust the pushrod out until it has zero clearance then go another 0.100" inch. You can measure how much three turns lenghtens the pushrod before you install them just to make sure.
Good Luck

Why Is My Harley Davidson EVO Backfiring on the Rear Cylinder?
Harley-Davidson EVO may be backfiring on the rear cylinder because it has a wasted spark system. If fuel and electrical is all good/correct it is often the case in these symptoms that motor cycle spark plugs that although looking good and firing outside of the engine are breaking down and will not fire under compression pressures on a power stroke but will fire unburned fuel on the unpressurized exhaust stroke when the plug again fires in a wasted spark ignition system and when so firing the result is a backfire, usually quite loud.
1997 Harley-Davidson FXSTC Softail Custom, backfire and speedometer going haywire.
not told how old the fuel is
and can be bad 1+ year old
compression good
good fuel
carb clean.
spark good.
filters not clogged.
electronics speedo or cable driving, no way cable can fail parked at 0mph, but if electronics to not work with dead or weak battery 10vdc is min 12.6vdc is good key off rested.
a good battery is first, the bikes generator may not run the biked proper if battery overloads any gen. so batter good is first on bike. (MC)
