What would cause my 2002 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic to start sputtering and throttle body backfiring after using 1/2 of a full tank of fuel? I refuel to full and it runs fine.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Don’t know if this is true for HD, there has to be a vent in the top of the fuel tank to let air in as the fuel level goes down. If this vent gets blocked, the area above the fuel forms a partial vacuum. This restricts the fuel supply to the engine.
Test , when you experience this problem, open and close the fuel cap and if there is a blockage, the engine will run normally.

Wasn't the case in my situation but thanks for the idea.

Ruling out water contamination (water settles and heavier than gasoline), is it possible for restriction in the fuel line and/or shutoff valve (if they're still used)? Ethanol blends attract moisture and can cause premature corrosion in fuel lines and metals. Fuel may also corrode carburetor parts.
