So I bought my 2002 1200 Sportster in Sept of 2018. The guy I bought it from had it sitting in his barn for over a year and hadn't ridden it.
I let it sit from when I purchased until about a month or so ago without riding it.
When I finally got all my stuff together, titlework, insurance, permit, etc I started riding. I've put about 300 miles on it since.
Since I started riding it the bike would spit and sputter a bit especially at low rpm. After trying high test gas with octane booster at the suggestions of some local guys, with little change, I found a video about cleaning the float bowl and jet. I did that today. Cleaned it all real well and bam, runs like a new bike.
Here's what the jet and float bowl looked like when it took it apart.
Anyways, what is the stock jet size for a 2002 1200 sportster. Mine had 120 stamped on it. Is that stock. The bike has 19k on it so if it has been modified I wouldn't be surprised.
