Mine did the same thing when I bought it. Rode it home and blued my V&H longshots bad. Got it home and took the carb off after I ordered a new DynaJet Thunderslide kit. Thought the main and polit jets was just stopped up but when I took the diapram cover off I found a ripped rubber diaphram. Ordered a new one from HD and rebuilt the the carb and now runs like a champ. The carbs are real easy to rebuild so just research it a little and then have some fun and cold ones in the garage.
