Hi! I just picked up a 99 Sportster with @9,000 miles, When I test rode the bike, it took a real long time before the engine warmed up to let it idle/run without the enrichment valve being pulled out, it seems that the engine does not want to take the gas when you twist the throttle. I was told by the previous owner that he had not run the bike in some time, but did have "Stabil" in the gas tank. I rode the bike home and have changed plugs and plan to dump the tank and clean the carb, I removed the air filter in preparation of rebuilding the carb, and I notice I don't have much accelerator pump shot when I twist the throttle. I have the stock carb with a HD stage 1 dynojet kit and foam air filter installed (by the previous owner). I just installed a set of slip on Screamin Eagle II mufflers, and have the factory HD service manual to guide me through the r+r of the carb rebuild, am I on the right track??
