Cam Chain Tensioners

I must ride a freak of a Harley. I have 61K on my 01 Elektera Glide and I finally have to address the cam chain problem for the first time. On a different note. Can the Cam Chain Tension problem cause the bike to totally cut off (as in like it runs out of gas) at very high RPM like 90 mph? I have spoken to several HD techs and 1 said yes but the others said no. The explanation he gave me made sense but I'd like another opinion.

FYI, just changed fuel filter and Spark plugs but that did not help at all.

Thanks,
Tony Davis

last fall i bought a 99 flhtcui ultra clssic from a dealer with less than 30 ooo km on it. didnt get to use it till the next sping, it ran ok (if black smoke out the tail pipe is common for a $14000 fuel injected used bike sold as excellent condition bike) so any way, when i fueled it up, where the fuel hoses attached to the tank (there are 2 pressure connectors on the tank on the injector module) they were both dripping gas on to the engine... so i had to replace both at my cost 200 bucks. just for the parts, sorry only the engine and transmission were covered under warranty i was told.... so i bought the parts and did it my self, thank god for the after markets that make better parts than the original equipment. if i had to pay the dealer to do it it would have probably been double. ok the bike starting cutting out.... with a passenger its dangerous.... turns out the crank sensor in the engine started failing intermittently.... stranded twice.... after i put less than 1000 kms on it.... the embarrassment was nasty too, i called the dealer they sure we will cover it... had it fixed... then sorry that's electrical not the engine. even though its in the equine, but your warranty is still good... so it cost me over 400 dollars... now the stator fried... i mean fried... no voltage out of it... stinks..... now i am trying to replace that at my cost of course... did i mention the mount for the tour pack was fractured, likely from the vibration on the flimsy metal bracket that holds it in place.... all under me riding it 5000kms....is it my last harley?? probably.

H-D Electrical Failure

Bike cuts out, complete electric failure, approximately 30-45 seconds after leaving an extended red light, or pulling hills during hot weather conditions in Phoenix and nearby hills. Will sit for 2-4 minutes, and breaker will reset on it's own, bike starts and runs great until the next extended light or heavy hill. Charging system is putting out 13.6 volts. The 40 Amp breaker was replaced by a 50 Amp on a recall. No faults noted on engine scanner

Should I try a 60 amp breaker?

Is the Stator in the charging system bad?
