Re HD8 choking problems, also check fiber rollers under choke cams.  There is
at least one possible source for new brass rollers if your fiber rollers have
disintegrated.

  Gentleman
  My thanks to: Norm Nock, Krith Pennel, Blue 100, Ron Fine, Bruce Hurley, Ken
Freeze, Roland Wilihelmy, Steve Rizzo, Dave Ward, and Healey Guy !!
  The hard starting appeared to be in the choke area.  Pulling full choke on
then checking each carb to see if it really was fully choked proved IT REALLY
WASN'T.  For some reason there was just a small amount more to go.  Before
pulling the cables up that little bit I checked from the carbs up to the
"yoke" and then under the dash to the knob. Didn't discover anything odd.
Maybe it was "cable stretch" over time.  Through the battery in, full choke,
hit the key and viola we had lift off.  Ran strong and smooth at 1/2 choke and
then fine with no choke.
  Thanks for all the hints.  I have a longer list now.
  Regards to all.
