Hello everyone!
This is my first post, and I'm hoping one of you fellow motorheads can help me with a tech question.
I have a 95 Dyna, and it was in storage for many years. When I fired it up last year, it was popping from the carb and running badly. I brought it to Harley, when I should have done the work myself, however, the mechanic dropped the bowl on the carb, and cleaned the main jet. After that, it seemed to run sweet, but then I noticed a flat spot at quarer throttle after the engine warmed up. I would crack the throttle at a light and I will get a hesitation. Runs fine on the top end, but I have an annoying dead spot in the throttle when in neutral. I took the carb off, cleaned it, replaced the accelerator pump and throttle slide, and I still have the same annoying problem that didn't exist before the bike was put away. I have heard other riders with the same problem (just got back from Sturgis). Can anyone share some insight to this issue? The only thing I can still think of is either I didn't do a good enough job blowing out all the circuits in the carb body or I need to start looking outside of the carburetor; maybe the voes switch.
HELP
