Hi All,
I'm brand new to this forum....I found it from searching for an answer to my problem I'm having......
I have a 2006 FLST special paint edition, carb model, air kit with pipes (dealer installed)....love the bike. It has approx 3500 miles on it and has run flawlessly. I have ridden it about 300 miles so far this year. Went out yesterday morning to go to an open house at a HD dealer.....Pulled the enricher, like I always do, started the bike.....The tone just didn't sound right and it seemed like it was backfiring through the pipes.....as it warmed up I push the enricher in, but not all the way.....the bike will not stay running and pops out the exhaust. I never had any problems before....thought maybe I had water in the gas....even though it was brand new....I drained the tank...but didn't see anything strange. Went and got new gas...same thing. The enricher can not be put in even after it is warm...it will shut off.....
It's almost like it has dirt in the carb. I'm really at a loss, and I'm just out of warranty. I'm not sure what to check. It doesn't make any sense that it drove perfect the last time I had it out, and then won't even run now, unless the enricher is out all the way....any suggestions would be great!
