Default Engine problem

I just bought a 95 flhtc, I start it with the choke out and it will run fine but when i put the choke in it want to stall I increased the throttle adjustment just to keep it runnig but it's out quit a bit.
the rpm are about 1,000 which is too high. any ideas

Are you sure 1000 is too high ?
The Harley-Davidson engine oiling systems needs 700 RPMs or greater to deliver proper lubrication

Probably between 900 and 1000 would be ideal for your carbed motor.
1000 to 1050 on a warm EFI motor. (1500-1600 cold)

1k rpm is just right for an EVO oil pump.Take that carb apart and soak it/clean it.
