Just so you know, S&S recommends for STOCK 80"er's is a .028/.066 with the idle mixture at 1-1 1/2 turns. I'm trying to find the link.

By the way your plugs look great...

Called ss and spoke to a tech he said my jets are around 883 size and something is going on with it. O now I'm stumped as he said it's not correct

Cold motor, and under acceleration you get blow by.
Bad worn rings, or possibly bad, or worn leaking valve seat-or oil control issue. Do a tear down of top end and inspect...

I appreciate the input but unless I know forsure it's something in my top end I'm not about to tear the entire bike down. My compression is good 150psi and 145 psi I doubt it's rings..
