Its probable simple it very often is with Harley's I think you may have an engine exhause that may have an air leek, even though you hear no sound from the exhaust that may give you clue, just make sure all carbs/injectors, air box and exhaust's are on tightly go can be as carfull as you like it happens to the best of us even me after 42yrs of bikeing I hope this solves you problem its due to old idears on bikes *** bikes have different methods but its impossble work on them at leat you can repair a Harly, Good luch chum some time you need an artificial sealer dont ask me what.

SOURCE: need instructions on removing back tire on Harley

I worked as a PDI @ riders in b'ham for a while and had to change a few rear wheels, the 1st thing is to deflate the tire then use a coat hanger wire that is strait. Place the wire @ the center of the axel bolt head and then following the swing arm up to the center of the swing arm bolt head, then use a zip tie to mark the coat hanger. Then move to the other side and check to seeif they are the same . They should be. Then move to the disc break and remove the calliper, do not remove the break line. Once you do this you can loosen the axel nut. I assume you have the back tire off the ground, so now you can move the wheel to the front and remove the drive belt. now you can remove the axel and drop the wheel down and out . do this opposit to put it back on remember to use your coat hanger to reset your tension on the drive belt , hope this was helpfull.

SOURCE: Fuel line hose came undone from bottom of carb.,

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

A fuel feed hose would enter the carbs either from the top or the side. Any hose attached to the carb from the bottom would be a drain hose. Being a drain hose, it is only connected at one end (bottom of the carb) and is free on the other. Normally, there would be a drain screw very near where the drain hose enters the bottom of the carb. The purpose of the drain screw and hose is to allow removal of contaminated, stale fuel or flushing of rust, sand from the carb bowl.

Hope this be of help/idea. Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.
