got a 2003 1200 sportster from someone that let it set for three years. I cleaned the carb bowl, plunger needle, accel pump, and the main jet. it started however I can not get it to idle without having the choke pulled out a little bit! also if I try to turn throttle it stalls out! need help to figure out if I did something wrong or if I need to reset the idle.
