I have a 1990 FXST. It's basically stock. Stock Carb. For years it has performed great. Just recently it started acting up. It starts the same as when new. Pull out the enricher hit the starter and she runs. After a minute or two to warm up, Release the enricher and she runs rough and shuts down. To me it sounds like it's sucking air from somewhere.

Could the VOES be a problem?


Any suggestions?

 

It's very likely your intake seals. They go bad, and need replacement on a regular basis. There is plenty of threads on this matter...good luck.

 

Thanks, I'll look in to that.

 

In my experience the VOES can do some strange things, much more weird than you describe!

 

Thank you Grbrown.
