Thank you for any support(in advance).
I have a 2005 H-D Softail fatboy(carbureted) with 3600 miles on it. I am hearing a random KNOCKING noise between the front of the motor and the wheel. Today i heard it, stopped at a light shut the bike down, started it and it was gone. I don't think there is any loss of power when this occurs. The sound is similiar to a car without any oil(dipstick shows full)Thank you for your responses!!!!!

Hello there my friend, another fellow Floridian. Good to have you here.
As it was already suggested to you, questions like your carburetor problem are better asked in a different area. I will insert a chart for you below.
Take your time looking around, there is a huge amount of stuff here like technical and mechanical forum, Harley videos, forums by model, a section for just Road trips, regional areas, photos, excellent vendors of all kinds, a place to buy and sell bikes and parts, games, my goodness the list keeps on going…
Now, for my regular welcome to you...
