Default 55pan

I do have to help it run with the choke when cold. I talked with some others and they think the low compression is the problem. It's always something. Kinda new to pans but have had and worked on hd's all my life. Will tear down and check cylinders.

Thanks,

Russ

Are you running an inline gas filter from the tank ? If you are take it out and see what transpires

I would dump that S&S carb,,, got with a CV style carb,,be it a SU or Kiehin...Rings would be a good help,,,you kinda want the comp to be at least close,,when checking for intake leaks I perfer propane as a detector,,as its whats being detected in WD40,,its the propellant..Good luck..
