'92 FXR not running right
After 400 trouble free miles my '92 FXR with an SS Super E carb started surging and cut out on the freeway. After pulling over I was able to restart and limp home.
My indie swapped plugs, cleaned carb, replaced coil.
Gave it back. Ran good for about 50 miles then cut out on freeway again.
Replaced ignition for Accel.
Now it's idling fast or else wants to die and sounds like its backfiring from the front of the motor...
Any ideas?

That said people do strange stuff.
Before you decide to change the intake seals I'd do the test just to make sure that is what your problem is.
If it will go 5 miles I don't think it will hurt it.
