When my bike is cold it acts the same way. Check here for location and how to adjust the air/fuel mixture screw.

my evo likes to warm up before trying to ride or it gets the pops. that link is a good article on setting up a CV carb for a Harley

Just turn a quarter turn at a time until it seems right

Check out all the info they have at CV-Performance.com, they know their stuff about about carbs and their videos make it easy to understand. Their parts and service is also great. I knew nothing about these carbs and with their parts and help I was able to rejet and rebuild my carb and get it dialed in perfectly. The EZ Mixture screw is awesome, I still havent gotten the EZ idle screw but will probally get it next time I have to rebuild my carb.
