Default Heritage Stalls when accelerating from Idle

I have a 2000 Heritage Softail carburator bike. I added a big sucker that has run fine.It has started to stall when accelerating from Idlesitting at a stop light. Once you get it going it will run through the gears ok. It seems the longer it sits at idle at a light the more it wants to stall when taking off. HD Service replaced the ignition coil and replace the idle jet. It still has the same problem. Anyone got any ideas.
