need some help...please
I have a slightly complicated issue,
i have an '03 hugger with a 1200 upgrade that utilized the stock heads. this was done about 1500 miles ago. recently i have been having starting issues when warm. occasionaly when i stop for gas and go to start all i get is coughing out the carb, backfiring, and flames out the pipes. once i let it cool down for about half an hour or so, it will start fine. also sometimes when i start my bike it will run poorly after warm up, it will barely idle, and when i hit the throttle i get a cakle sound out of the pipes instead of its sweet rumble.
any help would be great, thank you all!
