Hey everyone. I'm in need of help. I have a 1982 Heritage special that I've been working on for way too long. Here's my problem today:
When I start the bike on full choke, It settles down at 2k rpm, revs all the way up to 5-6k on its own, and then 10 seconds later it falls back down to a steady idle for a while and then dies. It won't run with the choke off or half on for very long without bogging down and dying. My left spark plug is black (rich) so I recently dialed the mix screw back a half turn but haven't run it to test it out, and the right plug is a little light (but I'm leaving it as is for now). I just replaced my exhaust gaskets, so I know they're good. I also did a carb cleaning to too long ago
Can someone tell me why I'm having this issue and what I can do to rectify it?
