3 weeks ago i bought an '03 hugger with 5500 miles the first 4-5 days were the best since i've wanted a harley for about 30 years and finally got one after the the 6th day it would'nt start very easly progressively got worse don't even think about starting it when its warm just wont happen now it wont happen when its cold it will finally start after cranking for 10 -15 minutes stopped for gas friday, close by the dealership i bought it from would'nt start they came over and after 15-20 minutes it started did the same thing tonight only this time it would'nt start i gave them the key and registration and told them its their problem now this is a tough lesson learned about buying a PIECE OF **** HARDLEY DAVIDSON never again

Just pull the carb and clean it. Easy peasy.
The problem isn't buying a Harley, the problem is that you didn't have any clue what to check when buying a bike that had obviously not been ridden nearly enough to keep everything clean.
The bike probably sat unused for a long time without a full tank of gas and ended up with a bit of rust in the fuel tank. Once someone started riding it regularly, the rust stated getting pulled into the carb and now it needs a cleaning. Welcome to things you need to do with old bikes. I just had to do the same with an old Honda.
