Cough thru carb 2 Years ago  
I recently put on a Baron's BAK and rejetted with their jets and needle, rode it and it ran great. MPG in mid 40's, up from the high 30's. Then bike set for 3 weeks. Yesterday rode the bike around,but after stopping for awhile it would cough thru the carb and want to die, then start to run good. What is it?

Settings are as such:
clip 3rd groove with 2 washers
PMS 2.5
172.5 jet
stock main
Baron's BAK
V&H longshots

did do it right after you shut off the bike and wanted to start it again? Carb puking maybe? It could be your float level. jmo

Re:Cough thru carb 2 Years ago  
TRucker, probably just "cold engine". Mine will require choke after 30 minutes or so even after a long hard run. Sometimes I can just pupm it 4 or 5 times, but it will cough at first if you catch it right.
These things just don't hold the heat and that is probably a good thing.
just my guess.

Mine won't run at all with the choke on, although I need it every morning.
