Here's on for ya's: just bought an 06 Road Glide with an S&S Hot 95....trouble is, it's super hard to start when it's cold. It seems to be flooding and the only way I can get it going in the morning is to twist the grip wide open and milk it for a couple trys, then for a couple minutes to get the engine to run on it's own.
Not only that, but I'm going to get smacked in an intersection sometime since it seems to flood and bog when I lift off at a light or stop sign. Any time I coast along at idle or just above, then give it about half throttle (or there about) it wants to bog ad die. Going down the road, it runs great and has all kinds of power...I have a Power Commander 3, which I've unplugged and gone back to the stock ignition....exact same performance if it's plugged in or not (except for more power with the PC3).
Maybe a bad fuel regulator? Leaky injector? Any ideas? HELP!
