A carb bike and an injected bike are a little bit different when its time to start the motor. With a carb bike you need to open the petcock and let the fuel flow into the carb then choke it and hit the starter button. Once the motor warms up for anywhere from 10-30 seconds or so close the choke and ride off.
An injected bike is much simpler. Turn on the ignition, make sure the kill switch is in the run position and you'll hear a sort of whistling sound for about 2 or 3 seconds. This is the sound of the fuel pump pressurizing the system. Once the whistling stops fire it up and ride off.
Hope that helps.

Congrats on the WideGlide, and welcome to the HD Forum. Can you contact the seller and ask if he has put a tuner on the bike. A tuner will adjust the fuel/air ratio, you have an open intake (more air) that made it leaner and after market exhaust that gets rid of the exhaust quicker. +1 on downloading the owners manual, lots of good information, and don't be afraid to ask questions here. I hope you have thick skin. Good luck.
