2003 Harley Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy only runs with the choke on

Have a 2003 fat boy, runs fine with the choke out but coughs and backfires on acceleration with the choke off no matter the temperature of the engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. @

SOURCE: 5.3 chevy hesitates when cold runs fine after warming up

I have same problem, Chevy told me it was probably a seal affecting fuel air ratio and when warm seal expanded to stop air leak. I forget which seal but they also said to check plastic case around seal because it will warp and may also need to be replaced. It was located near top center of engine. Please let me know if you figure it out.

SOURCE: Backfire - Husqvarna YTH20K46

I find my 2148 runs much happier on the medium grade shell than on the cheaper gas. I did have a nasty POW, which resulted in bent pushrods, or perhaps the bent pushrods caused the POW. After replacing the pushrods, and adjusting same, the backfiring stopped altogether. knock on wood. The 21 is a B&S engine which has a propensity to the bent pushrods. Fortunately for me, my neighbor is a wiz at those fine adjustments.

Can't find oil plug for 2003 fat boy

Look down at the bottom of the frame behind the exhaust pipes. There is a large hose that runs down that way with a plug in it. Harley moved the drain plug to a crossmember underneath the frame. The plug screws upwards into the crossmember.

Good Luck
