Here's why: There is a little more throttle hesitation, then before, and it backfires quite a bit more on the decel out of the muffler ( which is harley upgrade that is drilled out). Had the upgrade on before the desnorkel and way less pop. I have an 86 model, and the guy I bought it from said that these came with the bigger jet, so he said that I could just put a air pod on, and be ready to roll.
I not sure that's exactly accurate now. It has always blown a little black if you rap it a in neutral, but I'm told that these should run a little rich anyway. What would you suggest to go from here?
along with bigger jets, the 86 supposedly came with an adjustable needle. Pull your carb and move the clip down one notch. my 86 carb didn't have the adjustable needle, but it's retardedly screwed up by previous owners.
the black smoke from the exhaust, i'm guessing, isn't from the carb. it's from the head. the inside of my head is BLACK black and a bit flaky from running rich for god knows how long.
