Does it crank a lot before firing when warm?

Vacuum leak? Check the various vacuum lines at the nipples, see if they
are hardened or split. Just had a HD Sportster in my shop, stalling and
poor idle due to one hardened line and split line. Looked ok, until I
pulled it off, the splits were in the lining of the hose.
