Engine Idles but bogs down with throttle..??
I have an 85 Ironhead.
Engine starts and idles like a champ. Once it is given throttle it bogs down, misfires and runs like hell. Started a month ago at high RPMs and has gotten worse and worse until now where it will only idle
So far I have..
put in new plugs, cleaned entire carb and jets, checked the fuel flow from tank to petcock to filter to carb, sealed pipes at exhaust flange
Problem still persists.. ideas?
