    Default Vl Not running past 2000 rpm HELP

    Hi Guys, I am trying to get my Vl to run as it has been sitting for a long time with stale fuel in it, I can get it to start, and Idle althouhg roughly, but if you accellerate past 2000 rpm it stalls, I ahve cleaned out the fuel tank, put clean fuel in, replaced the hoses for the fuel reservoir, any uggestions as to what would be causing this to happen and how the hell am I going to rectify this problem?
    Thanks

    had same problem with mine and was just a wire to the airflow not connecting so try wriggling the wires around yours first, saves buyin a new one if its that
