What starters interchange with 93 xlh

SOURCE: 2004 XLH 883 C SPORTSTER POPING THUR CARB. &

Usually, if you go up one size on the slow jet and readjust the idle mixture this solves the problem. I think you bike came equipped with a #42 slow jet. Go up to a #45, the next step richer. If you have not drilled and removed the "anti-tamper plug" that covers the idle mixture adjusting screw, do so. Be careful not to damage the screw as they are not available seperately from Harley. This will enrichen the low speed mixture just a bit.

You can also remove the needle from the slide and install a 3 mm flat washer that is about 0.020" thick on the needle to raise it up just a bit to enrichen the midrange just a bit.

Also, check your accelerator pump for proper operation.

Good Luck

SOURCE: Whats your opinion on restricting the XLH 883?

I am a Sportster enthusiast and have been all of my adult life...
I own several Sportys ( 1962 , 1988 , 1999 and a 2004)
are you refering to the exhaust restriction ( baffels) in the mufflers?

There are two things that can cause what you describe: Lack of fuel, and lack of spark.

The easy way to eliminate is put an extra spark plug in your pocket....Ride the bike until it quits, then pull one plug wire, plug in your spark plug and hold the base of it against the block, and crank the engine, while observing the plug.

If you have spark, fuel flow issue is likely, check all filters, and strainers (in tank too). You can pull the fuel line and open the fuel valve and observe flow, but be careful of spark and fire, happens EASILY.

If you do not have spark, investigate the ignition system, if electronic, you can be overheating, usually requiring component replacement.
