    Constant throttle...

     I have a few questions about my ol ironhead. I don't know too much about bikes yet...but learning. I had a shop repalce the points/ condensor, set the timing and adj. the carb. I was having problems wit it running, felt alot like a mis-fire in a car. Here's the problem though, now it will only start if I choke out the carb...then it wants to run it full throttle.I'm thinkn that it's either a intake leak or possible problem with the damn super b. Could the float possibly gottn stuck open on the way home from ill to kc? She was on the back of my trailer. If this sounds like its possible, is it hard to break free or clean the super b out? thanks for your time. Oh...and do have a rebuild kit for it?

    Re: Constant throttle...

     does it run ok when you take it off the choke; what does the idle do then. If you have to choke out the carb though it sounds like a vacum leak...
