Hi guys, I have an unusual problem which seems to be difficult to identify the root cause of. The bike in question is 2002 FLHT with an 88, it has 203 cams stage 1 kit with V&H pro-pipe.
When riding at higher speed, (75-80) the engine will act as though it just ran out of fuel, but if I let it slow down a bit it runs normally again.
I can make the bike do it as well in 4th gear at approx 65-70 mph it seems like its running out of fuel at higher RPM when there's a load.
I can hit the rev limiter in 1st through 3rd with no problem.
I've had the carb redone with no change.
Checked exhaust baffle for issues.
New Plugs.
Cleaned and checked air cleaner.
The bike runs just fine below that speed, but its terribly annoying when riding 2 up in KY with a 70 mph speed limit and needing more throttle to climb a long steep grade and having the bike die. (actually it never stops running, just drops like a rock to 65 mph or so.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
