Happy Birthday to a really great guy!

Yep It did it right after SC install. Glad you’re getting good use out of it! Still my favorite toy I ever bought. Looks a lot better with all the stuff you’ve done to it!

I would say it's in the tune. The one I have has 33,xxx on it, and it did it from the new install according to Brody (who I bought it from with 10,700 miles). Mine doesn't do it every time, in fact it's only perhaps one in ten or less in the summer. The cooler it is out, the more likely it will start up then stall. Mine has the early tune, and I just attributed it to trying to keep it lean as can and still be safe when not under boost. At idle, there are light popping sounds, again notorious of a lean idle. This hurts nothing, as long as it goes away as soon as you give throttle, which it does. I usually like to let it warm up a bit too, throttle is more fall on it's face until it's getting warm. Enriching the tune when cold would fix it, but I'd still not hit it until it's completely warm.... so really not an issue for me.
I'm not fixing something that's not broken. I'm running with several other Slingshots, some with the tune, some without, and if we all drive the same I'll be within $1 of the same cost at the pump as they are. At times, I'll beat them getting better mileage than they do. But use the SC hard, that changes. With the MeanSling top on it at 85 on the interstate, MPG drops to 23 or less if headwind.
I usually try to fill with 2 bars showing. I've ran it to the reserve flashing, but that still leave 2 gallons of fuel. When I'm down that low, I won't hit it hard or run curves hard. I just don't want the chance of the pump sucking air for a second, and the system going lean under boost. -
I got my second shot a couple of weeks ago. I was lucky and had zero side effects!

Happy Birthday EJ!! Hope you had a great day!!

Ty guys! I’m finally in my 40’s. I would like to go back to Ohio maybe this will be the year!

Prayers to his family and friends I enjoyed his post over the years!

I really have a soft spot in my heart for Goats_Hogs slingshot!
-
I miss that Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio group. Some of the best people you will ever meet.
-
Mine was missing from when I bought it. They had to order a whole new assembly from Polaris like someone said earlier.
-
I tell my wife everyday I shouldn’t of sold it. The one thing that makes me very happy about it is my friend Goats_Hogs has it and sends me pics of it during his travels! I’m getting a new hip next year and will probably buy another one if that go well! The pics will have to do for now!
-
Very sad news! Always enjoyed his posts. Definitely a loss for the slingshot community. Prayers for his friends and family.

That sling rocks. I love it!
-
Sorry for your loss my friend.

I did just order a dream gun for me. It’s a H&K SP5. I have to wait a few months to get it from my dealer because he is getting huge markup right now on them and he sells to me at cost. I own several HK guns and very much looking forward to this one!

Just saw this happy birthday buddy!

Been there done that. Been around guns my whole life teach conceal carry classes in my basement. I made a terrible mistake years ago. I pulled my Vepr-12 shotgun out of the safe took the clip out got a phone call talked for like five mins went back to the gun and for some reason I was messing around with the trigger that I was thinking of replaceing and boom shot through my wife’s pillow and through the wall buck shot went outside and through another wall. I now tell that story in all of my classes. It was one of the dumber things I’ve ever done. Wife was not pleased. I’m very blessed no one got hurt. I triple check now every gun is cleared.

The whole Impeachment is a sham the senate should vote to dismiss and move on!
