Default 2001 Deuce with carb not running right

Om my 2001 carbureted Deuce, it cranks good and idles good but coughs and don't want to go when trying to go down road. Plugs are good, gas is good. Anyone else have this problem?

Accelerator pump not working?
Petcock screen clogged?

Do you think it might be electrical, maybe the coil or sensor. How many miles on the bike? Has it been running good up til now?

I'd check the intake and carb gaskets first. I'd bet it's an intake leak.
