Default Acceleration
02 wide glide carbed, 95", 211 cams, correctly jetted. When the engine is still a bit cool it will accelerate like a rocket but when it gets to full operating temp I lose about 25% on the hard accel.. It runs smooth under all conditions. Starts fine etc. was think VOES but after reading on it, symptoms don't jive with what others are saying, any ideas?

Agreed. All my carbed vehicles have/had one installed. MUCH easier to tune and maintain.

I got a portable setup for the bikes. Innovate LM-2 with tailpipe adapter. Tune and remove.

RB Racing has a nice miniature setup that's good for permanent install on carbed bikes.

I put a Wego III on years ago and tuned my 96"er (Evo) with it and the last time I had it dyno'd I was told that no changes were made to the jetting.. It was spot on. I'm also running a ThunderJet on my S&S G... There's no replacement for it.....
