Either your needle valve is stuck in its seat, or the float height is not set correctly. Both the needle and seat can be replaced on your Mikuni.

    I have a popping sound in my carb or air filter. 2006 sportster 883custom. It's like it misfires and pops. Can someone tell me what to do relative to this issue? Thanks
