Let my 1999 Valkyrie sit too long and she can't maintain an idle.  Starts fine with the choke fully engaged but stalls when at idle).  I drained the carbs, put in about 2.5 gallons of ethanol-free fuel and a full can of Berryman B-12 (sat for a day).  Took it out this morning and rode it around my area hovering at 2k RPM.   Still no joy.

May need a competent Valkyrie mechanic in my area (Boynton Beach), if the B-12 doesn't clear the low-speed jets.

Appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks.

Can't help you with anyone in South Florida, but if you can't find anyone BigBF is out again this year making the rounds fixing up Valkyries.  I had him fix mine up the year before, runs like a champ.

If you look on some of the Valkyrie FB pages you can send him a message and he may be able to provide an estimate as to when he would be in the area.

 Big BF passed away during his 2019 trip, in OK. The ONLY Valkyrie Mechanic that I know of in FL is Wood Butcher, way up in Perry, FL. You can contact him on MeWe in the Southern Valkyrie Riders group. When and how you would get your machine to him would have to be between you and him.

It was Big BF's 2020 trip. Missed immensely. RIP  angel Wood would be your best bet but he is busy. He is on a bike trip for another few weeks out west. Good luck.
