Normally that plug is only removed when a external air bleed is installed. Glad you got it worked out man.

Now THC has a point. Quit intoxicating that thing with sea foam. I hear there is an SFA group , but the first step is admitting you have a problem!!!

The plug is #25 in the picture. It allows air to enter the carburetor bowl.

Post 2004 S&S carbs already have an adjustable air bleed.
You have to access it by taking off the bowl.
