fFeb will give back firing weather if you don't let the bike warm up sufficiently to keep the gas circuit comfy. I always gave my SS at least 5 minutes on fast idle to avoid that problem. Will give hesitant throttle as the gas is icing in the system. Found that if I encountered that problem along the way, usually in the form of popping and stalling at traffic lights, I would just pull over and shut the bugger down for a couple of minutes to let the heat soak back into the system. Never used an carb warmer as this would cure the problem for those winter days when they struck.
