Default Needing some help

I have an 88 electra guide classic. The issue I have is rolling into the throttle it almost acts like it is going to stall out. Unless I let off the throttle then try to roll into it. It is idling at about 900 rpm once it warms up. I recently cleaned and replaced all gaskets. The jets have been replaced as well. Didn't notice issue prior to rebuild. Have done some looking at videos but have not found a solution yet and want to get some riding done. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated

Mike, could well be a carb issue - hopefully our carb doctors will be along soon!

Sounds like you need to go back and see what you did wrong on the rebuild.
What carb do you have?

X2 sounds like your not getting the squirt of fuel when twisting throttle!
