Quick summery of bike. I got my 2001 sportster from my dad in maryland a few weeks ago, i live in florida... bike sat for a long time so i changed oil, trans, plugs, air filter, new battery, carb completely cleaned, the works... bike has SE pipes, SE hi flow intake, stage 1 jets...

Bike runs great and runs very strong, but every once in awhile it will have a slight pop or backfire from the intake and a slight lose of power for a split second and instantly go away and be fine...bike is always warmed up before i hit the road also...

What could this be? intake leak, elevation change, jetting? anyone have this problem and or know how to straighten it out, i am very capable of working on my own vehicles and don't want to pay 20 a hour for diagnostics from the dealer, if someone could point me in the right direction it would be GREATLY appreciated...

 

The carb might need to be cleaned up...if it sat for a long time there could be a build up of varnish on the jets and pieces of the carb. Anyone else got any other suggestions???

 

sorry forgot to add that i did that... i pulled the carb apart and cleaned out all the jets and any varnish that was in there at the time i did everything else...
