Unhappy FXDL Stalling
I have a 2001 Low Rider and haven't ridden much in the past couple years.
My bike is now stalling at stops and needs to be choked before it will start. Also sputters when riding. I've changed the plugs and have cleaned the carburetor. Any suggestions?

Did you clean the carbs yourself or take it to a shop? Sounds like they need a better cleaning.

check your intake seals while running spray some wd-40 on the flanges and see if you notice a change in rpm.

Did you clean the petcock filter? If not that may help

If the carb has a float, check that setting.
