Default '98 Road King Throttle Issue

I've recently acquired a '98 Road King. I love the bike but when I give her more than half the throttle she chokes down and tries to die. She's idling fine and runs great on a gradual speed increase but if you try to goose it at all she chokes out like she's running out of fuel. Any ideas guys?

Replace fuel filter and check fuel pressure.

Carbureted or EFI? How many miles? Any mods?

Dirty air filter, clogged carb jets.
