Rough running 1957 FLH
Rough running 1957 FLH
My flh was running great then backfired and started running on one cylinder.I checked the plugs and one was fouled and the other looked as if it was running lean.Could it be carb adjustment or bad valve.Any help would be greatly app.

Les!
It sounds like a classic intake manifold leak, the scourge of all motors!
Disassemble and replace your o-rings clean and dry, and then pressure test the manifold at ~10-15 psi with dilute detergent squirted around the clamps before you reinstall the carb.
This should be considered yearly maintenance.
