*Twin Cam CV Carb Rejet Suggestions
Sticky Thread   No new post *Twin Cam CV Carb Rejet Suggestions - 999 days old
These suggestions will also work on EVO carbed models too. A tried and true for "most" carbs in twin cam bikes for rejetting with intake and exhaust mods would be on the low speed jet 45/46 (46 being the best usually), and on the high speed jet would be 185/190 (190 usually being stock). Install 2 - #4 washers (available in most... Read more

*Poor Performance With Carb Models
Sticky Thread   No new post *Poor Performance With Carb Models - 956 days old
A lot of owners of Harley's that run carburetors have asked a question about poor performance, especially at the upper RPM ranges. The symptoms are that it is starving for fuel and will not accelerate past mid range or a bit higher. The usual cause for this type of problem is a build up of sediment and scale from the fuel and the... Read more

CV Carburetor Jet Adjustment Our most common question about carburetor and Fuel Injection is "How do I know if my jetting is correct? A typical question might go; " I just added a new motorcycle exhaust system to my bike. Do I need to change the jetting? My exhaust color seems to be fine." Or, "I don't have access to a... Read more

Here's a tip on installing the stage 1 kit on a sportster posted by our very own Hobbit when he did the upgrade on his sporty. OK, we all know that making the bike breathe better makes it run better and release the power that the EPA/EU do not want us to have. You have seen the install for the Pipes to get the exhaust gas...

Sportster CV Carb Rejetting
Sticky Thread   No new post Sportster CV Carb Rejetting - 974 days old
A bit different than the big twin method.. Best to leave the diaphragm alone in the top of the carb. The slide diaphragm can be tricky to reinstall without pinching the rubber. The vacuum hole is a particular size in the slide and it is for a reason. It governs the movement of the slide for proper fuel delivery. If it is enlarged to... Read more

Fuels/Octane/Pre-ignition & Detonation
Fuels/Octane/Pre-ignition & Detonation - 700 days old
High octane or premium gas burns slower than low-octane gas (regular gas). Therefore, combustion is slowed with premium gas. Slower combustion can prevent pre-ignition, or "pinging". Pre-ignition is ignition of the fuel/air mixture before the spark plug fires. The ping of pre-ignition sounds like marbles bouncing around inside the... Read more
