    Not sure what is up .(02 wide glide/carb) this one is more sensitive to something either it starts as soon as ya hit the switch or turns then slight spit-like/sneeze then whilrs over a bit the fires up.... (stage 1) and bike has been tuned to the hilt!!(LOL) runs great just whirl spit/(sneeze actually) then whirl whirl maybe give a bit a of gas an tah dah!!!! (hot starts/short restarts often seems like) no problems other than this bike has done it more often than any other HD I have had. never studders or hesitates..but.... hey I love my carbs!!!! Any one got some new secret tricks..is it possible that when/if the valve(s) are a bit open it causes this?
    Often thought that and never bothered me before but for some reason after all these years it has gotten to me but not going injected!!!!! nope no way!!!
    I only wanna flash on a my camera or get flashed..I 'll stick carbs and can't help it..no offense but the next logical progression to me for HD should have been water cooled first. we do have the RODS but not for me either..

    Yes, that sounds just like my cycle the last week or so. I thought it was because it has been a zillion degrees outside, O.K , maybe not a zillion degrees. :eek:
