How do you eliminate engine sputter on a 2005 Harley Road King?

How to troubleshoot and eliminate engine sputter on a 2005 Harley Road King:

1. Check the air filter. A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, causing it to sputter. Clean or replace the air filter if it is dirty.

2. Check the spark plugs. Worn or damaged spark plugs can cause the engine to sputter. Inspect the spark plugs and replace them if they are worn or damaged.

3. Check the fuel filter. A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing it to sputter. Clean or replace the fuel filter if it is clogged.

4. Check the fuel lines. Cracked or damaged fuel lines can allow air to enter the fuel system, causing the engine to sputter. Inspect the fuel lines and replace them if they are cracked or damaged.

5. Check the ignition system. A faulty ignition system can cause the engine to sputter. Inspect the ignition components, such as the ignition coil, the ignition wires, and the distributor cap, and replace them if they are damaged or worn out.

6. Check the throttle body. A dirty throttle body can cause the engine to sputter. Clean the throttle body with a throttle body cleaner.

7. Check the fuel injector. A faulty fuel injector can cause the engine to sputter. Inspect the fuel injector and replace it if it is damaged or worn out.

8. Check the fuel pressure. Low fuel pressure can cause the engine to sputter. Test the fuel pressure and adjust it if it is low.
