Default Factory pro carb kit

I have a 06 streetglide with a carb want to put on the screaming eagle heavybbreather kit on it, gonna also put rienhart true duals too . It has screaming eagle slip ons on it now. Gonna need a baseline for jetting and I wondered if anybody has used a factory pro carb jetting kit before. Love the bike but i know I have carb issues cause right now when it is sitting in traffic (hot) you crack the throttle and the bike farts coughs through carb pretty embarrassing. I know carb bikes are the red headed step child here just hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. or should i get a mekuni

Default carb

Put a Dynajet in the carb and it will cure your cold blooded starts and stumbling. They come with excellent directions and are easy to install. ! ! ! !

Stick a Thurderslide kit in it.
The directions tell you what jet to use for basic setups.

Or you can throw a Mikuni 42 on it, right out of the box it should be good.

dynajet kit sucks big time, you'll lose big mpg's....stock cv carb is a great carb.. just visit a few harley dealers and ask the service manager what jets ya need...or find a good indy. ya don't need anything more then a cv unless your doing major engine work. I miss my ol cv carb bikes!!!

I picked up an '01 carbed EGS last spring that was bone stock and had just barely over 5000 miles on it. When I put the screamin' eagle slip-ons and stage one air cleaner on it all I did to the carb was change out the slow jet to a 48 and shimmed the needle with two #4 washers. I'm leaving the stock 190 main jet in for now. Fuel mileage is good (42 - 48 consistent). Over-all I'm happy with it. I might bump the 190 up to 195 when I tear into it again this winter just to see if it gives it any better WOT response.

Hope this helps.

45 (stock) or 46 slow jet. Leave the Main jet at stock, either shim the stock needle with 2 #4 washers or put in a Sportster Needle P/N 27094-88. Tyrn the A/f screw in until lightly seated then back out 2.5 turns, should be pretty close. #48 low is way too fat for most simple builds.

You can fine tune it a bit. get the bike up to temp, set the idle at 1000 rpm. then slowly turn the A/F screw in until the engine starts to stumble then back it off about a 1/4 turn. If with the screw all the way in the bike still runs good the slow jet is too big.
