1994 Dyna Low Rider Carb Issue
I have a 1994 Low Rider that I thought had major motor issues. The bike was stored for almost three years, and when I tried to crank it the carb was all gummed up. I blew out all the openings, installed a new carb kit and cranked it up and the bike seems to run fine so long as I'm giving it gas. However, when I let it idle, it stops running. Adjusting the idle seems to have no effect.
The only thing I can think of is that the diaphragm on the vacuum may be causing the problem. I did notice that my new kit did not include a new diaphragm.
Can anyone else think of what might be causing the bike not to idle?

Just went through the same thing with a 94 Evo I bought.
When you put the kit in the carby did you remove all jets and clean out all the fuel pasages?
I put a kit in mine and she started/ran, but would not idle, i removed the idle jet and found it to be gummed up and also the fuel passage to be tottaly blocked....I used a bristle from a wire brush to push through the passage..then carb cleaner and then compressed air.
It was full of gunk...put the carby back on...adjusted idle screw to 2 1/2 turns out and she idle real nice.
And yes! replace the piston and diaphrame rubber....
Good luck
