Anyone using the Ez-just idle mixture screw needle on there CV carb? Is it worth the high cost? For those who have it how often do you reach down and fine tune?

I set the idle mixture screw (low speed air jet) on my '94FLSTC back in '95, and have not had to reset it yet.

Once a carb is properly set then it is set and should not need any adjustment the opportunity to fiddle with it easily would likely cause problems

Not necessary for a good running bike.

IMO it is like in the old days when we had an adjustable main jet on our Bendix carbs, waste of time and money, Agree here set it and run it

Keep in mind about the high alcohol content of the gas we now have so you need to be sure your carb parts are up to date
