Default Back fires and coughs and feels like it's running out of gas...
99 Sportster CV carb running like SH*T

So I took my bike to Harley and had the carb rebuilt,

I just got the bike back on the road and it's STILL RUNNING POOR,doing the same thing as before

Back fires and coughs and feels like it's running out of gas...
Mostly in third and fourth,
Accelerates ok but as soon as your letting up or just cruising it feels like it's running out of gas.

I checked the gas cap(took it of when riding)I just put on a new tank and petcock,not sure if that would effected it?
Also I tried running it with the choke on and that seemed to help it run smoother.I have no idea why

Could this be a timing issue? ANY HELP or IDEAS??
