Hi, Just replaced my Catalytic converter on my 1150 with a Remus Y piece (thanks Stujw70), now when i give it berries it stinks of unburnt fuel. Bit of popping on the overrun. Can i fix it? Improve it? Any help? Cheers, Mark
I think they all pop on the over run. Mine did it and it was well sealed etc.

Quite a strong smell of fuel when riding hard/flat out. Cant be helping my consumption eh?!.
Have you changed the cat code plug?

Read this thread and follow Steptoe's advice and it should help.
I cant help thinking that if you are riding hard/flat out you are not smelling unburnt fuel from the exhaust (as you will always be in front of it, and any vapour will be tailing away well behind you) rather its more likely a fuel leak from the tank/engine area which is excaberated by the more aggresive riding..........
The question is, are we talking a raw fuel smell, or just poorly combusted hyrdo-carbons. We have all forgotten the exhaust gas vapours of the pre-cat era. Just drive behind say a classic E-Type for a few miles.
Sounds more like a back draught issue to me - I get it on my Electraglide in some wind/weather conditions. Is the OP running a big/high screen that might exaggerate the issue?
The problem presented on the first serious ride after the cat removal so I’m starting there. Never any fuel smell before. Thanks for your answer.

If it's a twin spark, then two large, flat blade screwdrivers work a treat and damage nothing.
Use then as levers lodged into the groove that runs around the top of the coil stick top (the plastic part). Used opposite each other, you prise out the stick with even pressure
It plugs into the cat on the 1150... But the Y-pipes should have a hole to fit the sensor also.Removing the cat may very well mess up the air/fuel mixture. Do you still have the O2 sensor in the header?

I'm wondering if you've accidentally buggered the O2 sensor. Can you check the wiring, tho I don't think the sensors are a fan of raw fuel
At least if it is that, it's an easy fix, albeit not such a cheap one.Yeah, I’m worried too. Will have a fiddle about tmrw.
