Stalling while riding
My 98 heritage springer stalls out after about 15 minutes of riding in 5th gear. After about 10 minutes it starts up. What is going on. I had replaced the breaker to no avail.

Does the bike crank but no start during that 10 minutes?

fresh gas, cables are good. Unsure of coil. Was thinking maybe a short. It seems to keep tripping a breaker, once its cooled down (about10 mins) im good to go. Stock carb

The carb is a stock harley carb from 98. My cuzzin was a sevice manager for a dealership and suggested that might be the problem

Keihn carbs are bullet proof. But yes that could be your problem, float or voes comes to mind. So don't go pulling a perfectly good carb out for a s&s.
Still don't understand how you know the breaker is tripping.
grab a manual and see how to test your coils and spark plug cables .
All an engine needs is air, gas which is atomized, and a spark to work. If it stops getting one then your screwed. What worries me is it happens when engine is hot so therefore it could be a leak In the voes. It could be the float is not set to the correct height so it's not allowing enough gas to sit in the bowl. It could be the pingel. It could be the gas tank has rust in it. It could be coils are bad. It could be something else...
