I have my voes hooked up and I'm on curve 3 although I'm sure I could be on curve 2 and I have no problems with power. If you say you have 90% better I would say the guys that have given you advice have a lot more tweaking info than me as I'm a simple guy that just wants a bit of torque and hi milage.
I have a 97 superglide sitting in the shed with a s&s carb and bone stock reman motor that I will one day do some power tweaking too.
As for the jetting my buddy that has been doing this sort of stuff for many moons told me the way he decides on the pilot jet is by hitting the throttle in third gear upto 6000 rpm until it starts sputtering like its starving on fuel and when you get that you go up one size and call it done. He had told me this after I told him I was running the following in my dales killer carb
When I got new carb from dale it had 195-.174,50-.020 , med spring,n72v needle with 1 shim, idle mixture 2 1/4 turns

BTW if you want a CV carb for that 97 I will happily swap you mine for that S&S that is on it now.

Yes TeX I was strictly referring to a kehin CV carb . I know nothing about s&s carbs , zilch. I already have another CV carb if I decide to swap on the 97. Thanks for the offer though.

If you decide to swap out carbs and then want to sell the S&S please let me know.

Ok first test ride from the efi to carb conversion. I verified the static timing, it fires up and idles strong , but has no power to pull out in first gear without some labor and slow throttle response. I am using the jets that came in the carb from s&s
Could the jetting be my issue?? Just to recap:
1998 ultra Classic
New top end, fresh hone, all new gaskets, new rings
Ev 27
S&s super e
Ultima programmable ignition
Dyna coil
The bike has strong spark
I'm so close!! Any suggestions???
