With your hypercharger I'm not surprised your running a 175 main. Add to that you moved to the 5th clip, which also makes your main richer off the mark...I've been here almost 11 years things change and we learn from them. Don't like removing the bottom of the carb on the bike, top not so much. The slight change will either work or it won't. I also switch out my iridium plugs that have been in for 6 years for some Nology silver plugs cross rated to the stock plugs. Why? Why not. Working great by the way. most of my driving is out...freeway speeds.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/05/05 12:07 By vegasdave.   If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010085 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:real world test of my new jetting 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I missed the tach question. I use one of the EZTachs to set the idle on my bikes. You can get them for about $50. It's an induction tach, that clamps on the front plug wire. Look on eBay. I have a Yin Tang or something like that, on my Springer. I'm pretty happy with it. It was on the bike when I bought it used. Curt always said they were the same exact thing, as the Barons.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/05/05 13:07 By SKWEARpeg.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010089 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1511 Re:real world test of my new jetting 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   SKWEARpeg wrote: I missed the tach question.

Thanks. trying to insure my idle is proper, though I've been known to potato potato it just to show off   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1010091 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6530 Re:real world test of my new jetting 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   vegasdave wrote: Which puts us back to there are no absolutes in carburetion.

BTW- That's a damn good looking bike you got there. Two pictures...two bikes ? A 99 and a 06 ? when it gets hot here...it gets hot and dry. My mileage tells me I'm getting close. With the temp and low humidity here think I'd rather be a hair rich.   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
