Hello ladies and gents, so I bought my 93 1200 sportster with 14,000 miles and we’ll maintained from a buddy. He hasn’t been able to ride it for a little while now and I noticed that I get a small bogg when I throttle down, shift, then throttle back up. But the second I give it more gas she rides just fine. He said that it may just need a good ride because she has been sitting for about 2-3 months, it has a S&s carb and starts right up no problems and no backfiring. What do you guys think could be going on. Should a nice ride do it or what do you suggest? Thank u, “Geeker”….

 

I'd put some fuel system cleaner of your choice (techron would be mine) in the tank, run a full tank or 2 of fuel through it, and then worry about any running issues if they remain.

 

I’m going to try that out. Thanks

 

Make sure the accelerator pump works. Take the air cleaner off and you will see a little brass squirter coming up through the venturi. When you twist the throttle you should see fuel being squirted into the venturi. Do it with the engine off..
