Evo Hugely Underpowered?
Went to see a.1997 FXSTC today with the intent of a possible purchase. Looked mint apart frm a small dent
However it felt massively underpowered. Maybe only had power up till 2-3000 rpm then nothing. Couldnt get past abt 40 mph.
Any ideas on what this may be? One point to note is that its been sat (with oil and fuel in) for 8 years
Thanks

Ah so if its just that then should be an easy enough fix.....
I certainly hope its that and nothing major as apart frm that I really like her and hope this purchase happens
Not sure what else could be the cause apart frm that
Thanks

Yep. Also figure you're going to need tires and hoses, pretty much anything rubber. I'd bet the intake mani gasket looks like cheesecloth. GL with it, sounds like a find.
