Default poor throttle response

Hi Looking for some help. I took my bike to a local harley guy last summer. I explained to them the problem I have is when I wined 1st gear out the engine stales as if I hit the kill switch. Also after crusing around 80ish or so for a while, when I come down to idle it seemes like its starving for gas. When downshifting it pops and coughts.two hundred and seventydollars later it still has the same problem. Any help would beappreciated.(1999 FLHRCI ) They did a tune up with a stage one down load .

try cleaning out your gas tank, sometimes debris can get in there and clog it up, if that doesnt work then just run all your hoses backwards to make sure there is no debris in them
