I have just fitted a screaming eagle heavy breather and freedom performance sharp curve radius pipes and i was wondering what jets any one would use/recomend for my stock cv carb?

 

cheers

 

Sorry, but I can't help myself.

Screaming Jets?

What jets are you running now ?

It's 1993 heritage softail engine is stock with a SE ignition and the breather and pipes, the jets are the factory ones. Ive spent sometime adjusting the mixture screw but Im still getting the occasional cough through the carbie when I back right off and then give it a big squirt on the throttle and the pipes "pop" when going down hill or when I back off it on high rpm, this is my first Harley and a bit of a learning curve for me so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

How many turns out on the mixture screw works best ? does it need choke when cold ?
This will tell you where your at with the pilot.
Impossible to properly jet your bike for you by remote, but go up 5 points max' on the main would be a start.
There is some good reading on the Net' for Carb' jetting tips.

Ive played around with it a bit more today and adjusted the mixture screw out 4.5 turns and the cough in the carb is gone aswell as the exhaust popping it seems a tiny bit sluggish on take off so next time i head out for i ride ill screw in the mixture screw in little bit more and see how i go. cheers for your help

the top end has a cough when your up in the revs and back off and then give it some again

yeah holding it flat and backing off

the cough is from the carbie

yeah thats exactly whats happening

ill check the the exhaust flange nuts next time im down the shed and see if they need a tighten up

no worries mate thanks looks like ill be getting me a rejetting kit

I put a 48 pilot jet in today and the bike goes a shit load better seems just a little bit lean right up in the top of the rev range though I havnt swapped the main jet yet though would that be the cause of it?

I did the test and it all checks out good so I'll stop messing with it!

Thank you for your help and advice it's been very much appreciated and I've learnt a lot about tuning carbs
