Idle adjustment
1997 FLHTC E GLIDE.
Motor will not idle more than a minute or two, even when hot. Is there an adjustment? Running strong otherwise, however every once in awhile I crack the throttle quick I'll get a "pop" like a gasp for air then back to normal. Any help?

Its running out of fuel. Popping indicates a lean condition. Adjusting the idle speed will not help if it idles normally for a minute or or two.
Check:
Float level
Fuel screen on petcock
Fuel cap for proper venting
Dirty carburetor/ clogged jets
