Would still be fun to drive on the track. I wouldnt say embarrassing though, one chick almost won it all with a stock mini cooper.

So I'm reaching out to my Harley friends! So I have a 91 883 Xlh. I am having ignition problems. I replaced the plugs but its still doing it. You will be going along under any throttle condition and the engine will just drop out Momentarily. It will be fine for awhile then act up again. Anyone have any experience with it?

Kinda sounds like the bowl emptying doesn't it.
Speaking of carb issues, I road my raptor 660 this weekend and its having issues. I'd have to guess at 20% throttle it like dies and if you give it more or less it wakes back up.

The rednecks were racing her with their pickup trucks. Their better cars would have had 1/2 a lap on her.

Got it fixed! Was not a carb problem, I had actually just put a stage 1 kit in it an it was still doing it. I has checked all the ENDS of the wires for a loose connection but After much debate I went back through and found a wire that was pinched in the middle and was loosing contact. Replaced the wire and running like a champ!

Good to hear.
Now come fix my 660 cause it does have a carb problem. How the hell do I figure out which carb to work on?

Any recommendations on what would specifically cause the issue I'm having? It idles fine but partial throttle seems to have issues.
Before it sat for a while it used to run a tad rich if anything as it has a jet kit in it. Now it seems like its lean.
I guess I should just tear both apart and clean everything.
I don't mind working on carbs, but for some reason these intimidate me.If I was to guess, I would say it's nothing more than old gas that has gelled up somewhere. With these motorcycle and atv engines that only see seasonal use, you tend to see lots of carb problems associated with letting gas sit in them for extended periods. I'm not sure that the ethanol in pump gas is particularly good for them either, but I don't have anything to back it up.
A thorough cleaning with a complete tear down, an overnight soak in a can of carb cleaner, and some compressed air through all the passages should do it. It's just that with my thinking, if you're going to work on one carb in a tandem set-up, you might as well do the pair. And if you're going to tear them down, you should put fresh parts in there while you're at it.

You wouldn't happen to have an idea of why these carbs are each jetted differently would you? My understanding is one carb feeds one valve, and the other two valves but they each have different jet sets and that makes no sense to me. It came from the factory with two different sets and the aftermarket jet kits come with two different pairs.
