52 Slow jet

52 Slow jet
Have just installed Ev27 cam and SE heads on my 97 Electraglide .
I had the carby apart to rejet and found 185 main and 52 slow jets. The idle air screw has been had at before by a PO. Its fubered. Do you think it's running the 52 slow jet to mask the f'd idle screw?. Because you cant adjust it?
What's your thoughts??
Gas mileage is worse than a mates 96" night train.
Bike only had SE aircleaner when I bought it. So no other mods. Seemed to be majorly over jetted for a stock bike.
I'm going to attempt to drill it out one day this week and install a 45 or so slow jet and adjustable air/idle screw
Bike now has
Ev27, SE Heads,.30 head gasket so 9.5 compression . SE air cleaner. V&H Propipe.
oh am also waiting extended front brake line and wiring extensions to finish off my 12" apes.

Hard to tell in the pick but if those are flat tops without valve reliefs I would go with a 48.. The best thing to do is install an AFR gauge with a wide band o2 sensor... Then you can get it pretty near perfect throughout the rpm range... I use a Wego III for three years now and no need for a Dyno tune.. Keep it mounted just to keep an eye on my AFR's.. Insurance.....My motor is very built...

52 is for 100 - 110 hp and most likely why the screw is out to lunch, going to be a good chance the needle is rich too because a CV doesn't stay on the low very long in everyday riding to use that much fuel. Sportster type needles work well in a CV, your set up is not on the edge of detonation prone yest but getting close with the early intake valve closing EV27 @ 9.5, it can still build some cylinder heat so be careful since today's gas makes plug reading difficult and lean can be mean to your wallet.

would like a o2 sensor but that have to wait till next year if I'm lucky

I have a replacement needle and 190 jet to start with. Will start rich and work from there.

Take a look and read the Nightrider website for CV carb tuning information.

Cheers they are stock pistons with valve reliefs.

That was my thought. Masking the tune with the 52 jet. I will get another carb when it's in my budget. Not that cheap here in New Zealand.
100+hp would be nice...

It's in the SE heads. The combustion chamber is smaller that stock heads... And yes they are a bolt on 9.5:1 with the stock head gasket. A .030" head gasketcould pick it up another .15-.2 possible putting the static comp@ 9.65-9.70:1 .... I believe they are a 76 or 79 cc combustion chamber...
