I had a similar problem with my 1200 xl and it turned out to be an air leak in the intake manifold that connects the two cylinder heads to the carburetor. But before you get into that always check the easy stuff first -Spark plugs, electrical systems and the quality of gas. One way to check it is to use aerosol engine starter fluid, with the engine running spray a very short burst around the intake manifold, if the engine speeds up that is your problem. (CAUTION -THIS IS A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE PRODUCT AND GREAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT AROUND SPARKS, HEAT, AND OPEN FLAMES AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED OUTDOORS.) Check for any cracks in the manifold if there are none and you are confident in wrenching, re-seat and tighten the manifold connections, otherwise take it to a motorcycle mechanic. Good Luck!

The spark plug gap for a 1999 H-D (Harley Davidson) is .032 to .036. The actual gap depends on the brand of spark plugs.
That is the overflow tube. It means that the float level is too high, or there is crap in your float bowl.
The proper air gap is .032 to .036 depending on spark plug brand.
well maybe,, depends on which model ur talking about, sportster, softail, touring, etc..Not every rim would fit on every bike. most, if not all, wheels from 89-99 bikes are different than newer 2005 wheels,

The fuse box is located just behind the battery on the left side of the machine. It looks like a right triangle, and can be removed without tools; just pull it out of the rubber grommets holding it in place.
