I had this on the sportster thread and now moving it to here. I just bought a 99 sportster and it tends to seem slightly flooded if i let it set more than 24 hours. I have to keep my petcock on off to prevent this. Also when starting off it tends to back fire and miss once and a while but once the bike warms up the problem seems to go away. I tried the seafoam with no success. I was told outside the forum that it could be my float on the carb sticking that is causing all of these problems but was wondering if anything else could cuase this. I have checked into fuel line trash and can find nothing and that doesnt explain the flooding any one have any ideas or is opening the carb up and cleaning it sound like the way to go?
Yes I would say you have some debris in the needle and seat valve....take it apart and give it a good cleaning. If your not comfortable with that take it to a good mech. because you can easily damage the float setting if your not careful
