exhaust leak?

[Jack Klarich]

De cel popping is more noticeable with different exhaust as the stock mufflers have stout baffles, not uncommon to have some popping when letting off the throttle tho you can usually rejet for this, best to error on the rich side than lean JMO

You could always open the a/f screw to three turns or a little more. If it helps and it makes you happy. Get you a 46 pilot jet and throw it in and readjust like you did for this one. Anything much over 3 turns and its time to up-jet.
Your high speed jet is probably fine.

i just happen to have a 46 it came in the kit ill put it in and try that so in my way of thinking if i richen up the slow it will help take care of the popping but will it hurt the performance she runs really great now?

i also have another ? off the topic im going to put in a chain tensioner do have any suggestions as to which on the m6 h125 or the new wedge

Has the motor been upgraded to Bigger Bore?

If Not I would not think you need More on the low jet. Nor the large..

I have Never liked the drilled slide NOR the Kits that come out for carbs.. I have always had Better performance using the Stock Carb the way HD put it out... Jetting it Up and changing the slide needle or Upping it by a(1 or 2) #4 washer lift under it to allow it to get the fuel there sooner.

I think your exhaust Might be the factor for the popping.(like said SOME will be there Just because of the OPEN style exhaust)

If I remember right on my 97 FXDS I used the other style of Exhaust gasket you have coming.. Tapered

Just be careful when installing the Head Pipe into the exhaust, Not to jamb the pipe and the smoother they install,,,, the better FIT on the gasket and not pushing it into the exhaust port...

Wont know if it'll affect it until you try it. Since you got the easy adjustment dohickey, open it up and see what happens before changing the jet.
