I just ask up front to bear with me. It's a question about the Harley I just got. But, I figure I'll ask my friends here.
I drained all the old gas and put in some fresh stuff with sea foam. So, gas is good. I unscrewed the float drain and see that it has gas in it, but it won't start.
When I spill a little gas into the carb it tries to start. It really seems like its just not getting any gas. It has been sitting for a while, do you think the jets are clogged and all gummed up?

Could be that the Pilot jet passages are clogged if it sat for a long time or its the valves or both.

Alleyoop Hey Allyoop, I came in posted this and racked my brain, then (duh moment) I remembered that these have a manual choke. I went to garage pulled the choke and it started right up. Woohoo!!! She runs perfect. |

Been there done that. With the auto chokes on the market and EFI, turning on the choke sometimes isn't thought of at first.
