96 fxstc 80 inch evo cv carb
I rebuilt the carb,new gaskets and o rings. The bike starts right up and does have a little spit back through the carb(fuel spray). I can get it to run good while sitting but when I put it in gear and try to go it pops and gets worse while riding unless I let it sit for a second ( all with out the air cleaner assembly). I had put a new float needle in it but it started pouring gas out of the over flow tube so I put the old one back in. Also the pet cock was replaced from a forward facing vacuum type to a downward facing on/off. Could the downward facing petcock slow the fuel or am I missing something. I have read the carb stuff here and on line, but I think I have too much info and need other opinions. Thanks!
