Default Carb problems
Hi, I've got a 05 twin cam 88 softail. I'm having problems i'm assuming with the carb. At speeds lower than 30 mph and at idle i get a popping sound coming from the carb and the bike shuts off. But if i hit the throttle right away it wont shut off ??? happens almost every ride
