Disappearing roadblock prank. [VIDEO]

Back in the the day(the '80's?) HD MOCO had a motorcycle producing system called Just In Time:Manufactored As Needed/Materials As Needed Sytem when they first divested from AMF. I think it had something to do with the AMF transition and surviving the initial damage. That and President Reagan helped too by imposing a serious tariff on all imports in 1983 over 649cc's. And for 5 years hoping to assist HD's recovery. Pretty cool huh.

Consequently there were waiting lists for brand new Harleys:

Harley Davidson 1971 Crises...{Strategos}

Fast forward to today thats not the case. Every dealer that I've gone to in recent years has major stock of used bikes and unsold back years of new bikes. And the bigger dealers have even more....

Ok boys, I have a problem that just reared it's head on my scooter.
'05 TC 95 cubes. 28,000 miles.
Out of nowhere it seems I got a noticeable buzz throughout the bike and it's definitely from the engine. I don't have a tach. It does it in 5th gear about 55mph but, when I bring the revs up to that rpm whether I'm standing still or in any gear I get it. I feel it through the floorboards, the handlebars and seat.
Since it started I changed the oil and filter, tranny oil, primary oil and adjusted the primary, no metal in the oils and it didn't help with the buzz..
Question: You think the spark plugs could do it?
Man if it's not them I'm affraid to think what maybe coming down the pike with this engine.

I hate it when stuff breaks!!!!!:witsend::witsend:

Well boys, I guess it was coming sooner or later. When I come to a stop so does motor. When I start it up, it idles erratically and dies. There's no vacuum leaks.

I figure I should take the carb off and disassemble and clean. Or?
