I have about as much knowledge of motorcycles as I do of the DNA strand and its make up! ZERO! But I'm gonna try and take my carb apart and mess with it and see whats up. I live in a high elevation and my 2001 Indian Scout coughs and splutters like a chain smoker with pneumonia BUT I bought it from a bloke up here so I assume it was already tuned for this altitude. Beautiful bike just runs like a big......
Dude....use bigger flathead on the 3 screws for the air cleaner backing plate and you won't get screws that look like those. I changed mine out to stainless SHCS.
Iv got a 127" and have a stumble wen you try to hold a set speed but wen ur in the throttle it run perfect any thoughts I got a 032 intm jet and 70 main
Maybe up to a 73 or 74 jet or a mid-range fuel circuit. I assume the stumble is at highway speed. and it is sucking more air and less fuel so when you crack the throttle more it pulls more fuel . My shovel will run a 70 and better at 68 so 70 is small I think for 127 Check out this 128 shovelhead (yes you read it right) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Me40j59H3C4.html
Great Video... How important is the rubber boot on the accelerator pump plunger? Mine is pretty whooped. My 73 Ironhead sportster with super E seems starved for fuel at high rpm/speed. Gonna try high flow petcock next.
Well...we do know the proper jet size now? Might I add....I've been using various S&S products for about 40 years....they DO make it clear their stuff is intended to be installed by someone with mechanical skills....I've had pretty good results by actually reading all the directions before I start the job...AND....any changes in exhaust...like straight pipes....will cause carb/fuel issues...all my 4 bikes ran better with some sort of muffler system...Ironhead Sportys, Knuckle.....
I have a Question for anyone who might know, I own a 08 K9 117 I had the bike on the battery tender it was fully charged I turned the key and nothing happened and no lights also. So I decided to see if battery was dead and touched both post with a wire and it arced. I turned the key again and the bike started right up! thanks
Please please stop doing this, shorting the battery is not good for the electronicss. Newer bikes have computers like cars. I blew up the computer on new ford ranger installing a new radio. Electronics are also sensitive to ESD.
