Running rough
Can I get some help and ideas on this bike? Got a 2000 FXD 16,000 miles. By all accounts good bike, not abused. Been running it for a few weeks getting some miles on it, running good gas through it. Ran some Seafoam through it. It was puking oil all over in the air box. I cleaned it up and installed some breather bolts and eliminated that issue.
Bike has screaming eagle mufflers, and looks like on receipts they used a 48L jet.
It sputters and carb farts, at times at low speeds and rolling on throttle. Some times it is very bad, some times it seems gone, sometimes it happens a couple of times on a ride. Cold weather seems to make it worse, but not solely a cold weather only problem.
What is my best starting points for trying to find the cause of this issue? Intake gaskets, wrong jets, air leak somewhere?
