Problems with electrics or fuel ?
Gday all
while riding my 1988 FXSTC , when I come to a stand still at a set of lights for awhile, I go to take off and it coughs and misses like badly and almost wants to stall , but after I’ve opened it and give it a bit of throttle it eventually comes good . It has a SS B carby on it and slash cut pipes apart from that every thing is standard.
any got any ideas .
Regards Mark

Questions would probably get more comments in the proper area using the dropdown menu under Forums in the menu above

People will just give you a bunch of useless posts here like you never rode a bike before.
I would start a thread in bike section, Lists simply any changes recently, mods to the bike, was it running good recently. If last years gas, did you use a stabilizers? I try to add fresh gas as soon as possible.

This was originally posted in the Welcome area so you will probably not get too many technical responses in that section.
I have moved the post to the Evo section https://www.hdforums.com/forum/evo-84/ if you do not get a response here you may want to raise your question in either of these 2 sections:

The B probably needs a rebuild kit, if you can get parts, but its just hitting winter tho right?
Any mates got a super E on a running bike? Or CV even with an afternoon swap and if it runs fine with the other carb, well unless its a spare you will have give it back while the replacement parts come in.

No accelerator pumps sucks.. You have to be right on with the jetting for those to make them work well. Could just need a good cleaning or possibly a bigger intermediate jet. If anything I would go to an S&S Ee with accelerator pump it'll definitely get rid of that coughing....
