new carb issue ?or not
i got my bike back today from the stealership, i got the 5 k service done and a 42 mil mikuni carb installed, i started riding the bike home ,35 milesto home got 5 miles noticed the choke was left on, so i turned it off, then at all stop lights and signs , it acted like it wanted to die on me, the idle was set to low !! but also once in awhile it was puking through the carb a lil , now keep in mind it was 29 degrees here , which i froze bike never got over 160 temp and the idle was set to low , could this cause it before i call them back ? because if i do call them back we gonna fight , they have messed up bike everytime its been there !!! today light scrathes all over bike , they rubbed most out , only in the clear but still makes me angry!!! i need a good place here in northern IL, but paint is a easy fix , would the cold and low idle make this puke a lil?

RE: new carb issue ?or not
You can adjust the idle screw for a bit leaner run.
Best way to warm up a carbed harley is too:
1. Pull choke out all the way.
2. Start bike
3. wait a half min
4. push in choke half way
5. let it warm up *warm cylinders to the bare hand*
6. push choke all the way in
7. get on bike and ride.. while u waiting for bike to warm do a bike check..
)
I have an EFI bike now but I do miss my 01 dyna lowrider which had a carb (thunderslided kit)
I had the idle set so it would slow chug when just kicken it while it was idle(stopped)
It was a bad **** sound... miss that...
