Why does my Harley Davidson stall when I idle?
It always starts easily when cold and idles well, but after a few minutes, if I’m idling awhile to get out of my driveway, the idle will fall and the engine will threaten to stall. If it does stall it’s hard to get started again, I have to give it a little throttle to get it to start and stay running.
Why does my car stall after a long ride?
After riding a while and it is hot it will stall at idle but starts back up with no problem. It just will not idle. It will also return to normal and idle fine after stopping for lunch.

What to do when your Harley starts stalling?
Start the bike cold. Mist the intake flanges with brake cleaner. If your bike’s idle drops, or the engine stalls, you have an intake leak. If this is the case, replace the intake seals along with the front & rear intake flanges. If the bike passes the intake test; have the dealer or your mechanic scan the m/c for possible codes.

What causes a car to stop when idling?
Unfortunately, if the actuator gets damaged, the engine will no longer receive signals that tell it at what speed it should operate when idling. Hence, it stops.
