try alittle ethenol additive to remove the crap and try that ... my 96 1200 eased up the *Sneezing issue* since i started using that

 

I did disassemble the carb and thoroughly clean it but did not check for air leaks... It happens just about any time im a stop light or in traffic when I crack the throttle, not ever under load, my next plan is to replace the seals and see if that works.

 

I disassembled and cleaned the carb but didn't check for air leaks cause I figured the cleaning would take care of it, it happens pretty much anytime I'm at idle like ata stop light or in traffic when I crack the throttle. My next step is to replace the seals, might as well do it anyway because it has sat for so long.
