HD dealer states 45 days to get appointment..any ideas? idles smooth reves great when not in gear. never been out in the rain plug connections, module connections all tight and clean
HELP?!
Mine did the same thing when I bought it. Rode it home and blued my V&H longshots bad. Got it home and took the carb off after I ordered a new DynaJet Thunderslide kit. Thought the main and polit jets was just stopped up but when I took the diapram cover off I found a ripped rubber diaphram. Ordered a new one from HD and rebuilt the the carb and now runs like a champ. The carbs are real easy to rebuild so just research it a little and then have some fun and cold ones in the garage.
