Full Throttle no gas?
Hi i need
2 problems with my 99 – 883 Sportster
1) When I have the throttle full open on the high way pulling a hill or passing the motor starts to run out of gas. I let up on the throttle and it seems to run like a bear. Any ideas
2) Second problem is I just switch over to Synthetic oil and the timing inspection plug is leaking oil. I have pulled it and cleaned it and put Teflon tape on the threads. It helps but did not stop it.
Any input would be great
Thanks
Peter

Don't know about the oil plug problem, but I had a similar problem with the fuel delivery at full open. Solved it by tuning and cleaning the carb, but also had to put a larger diameter fuel line. The one on there was not big enough to keep up when running the bike flat out.

Do you still have the stock pipes & air cleaner? My bike did the exact same thing. As soon as I installed my V&H pipes it ran like a bat out of hell at full throttle! I think the bike just needed to breath better.
