Good day all!
I have an '05 FXHO Cruiser that has about 170 hours on it. Over the past couple w-ends, it's been giving me fits! When we push off our floating dock, it cranks right up, sputters for a few seconds and dies. This goes on for at least 8-9 attempts until it seems to be "warmed-up"? After it is, I have no problems the rest of the day. It's just when we first go out. I haven't changed the plugs since 2008 and I'm wondering it that's the issue. Any thoughts or recommendations?

thx!

Change the plugs first.........very common cause for problems on the FX HO, especially if they have not been cleaned or replaced in 3 years.

I thought it might be the plugs...will change next weekend and if it's still acting up, I'll let you know--thx!
