check the intake seals and rebuild the carb

it may be on the end of a hose near the swing arm

Look on bottom of crankca .A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if this answer is helpful to you.

Goes way back. The old 45" flatheads had the right tank for gas, and the left tank was oil. Now it's a styling homage to the old days. While my '08 Road King LOOKS like it has the old split tanks, it's really a 1-piece tank.

The slide is above the float bowl area. Have you removed the cover and the diaphragm?

measure manifold air pressure

Check the idle control

This means some DTC codes are set.

Loosen/remove the seat fasteners and lift it up and away.

The starter silinoid is connected to to starter and can't be replaced with out the starter itself when you buy a new starter it'll come with a new silinoid on it pretty expensive too

Have a look around your carb inlet. This sounds like an air leak. Check for cracked rubbers..

1000 to 1050

Adjust in the primary and set the freeplay at the lever also

Adjust the clutch and the cable freeplay

Sounds like it is sucking in air from somewhere. Check between carbs or other gaskets. Good Luck

Need to take forks apart. What do you need to know??

It sounds as if you may have some partially contaminated fuel entering the carbs. About the only other thing I can imagine that would cause this is a very small vacuum leak at the point where the carbs mount. Carbs have even been known to shake loose at the air horn to main body gasket. Good luck!

Change the defective oil filter

The fuel supply valve is a vacuum operated valve under the left side of the fuel tank and it delivers fuel to the carburetor when the handle is turned so it is pointing up in the vertical position (ON) and vacuum is supplied to it from the carburetor. The fuel supply is turned OFF when the handle is in the horizontal position and when no vacuum is supplied to the valve from the carburetor. There is a RESERVE fuel supply and it is operational when the handle is turned to point down. IT SHOULD BE TURNED OFF when the engine is not running because if it is not it is possible for fuel to drain into the engine, dilute the engine oil and cause engine damage.

I would replace plugs first
