Thanks for the compliment and yes I totally agree about the idle being low. I only did this for making a cool "potato potato" sound for entertainment purposes only.

I typically run my idle right around 900 RPM's as the Evolution oiling system really needs it. The EFI bikes can't do that due to their electronics needing all of that 13v to keep it running right LOL

I just did a 50 mile oil change and wanted to see how well balanced the flywheel assembly was and also see how low it could go yet still ramp up on throttle.

Although I didn't show this in this video im glad i did that because i ended up having to put a. 060" shim (washer) underneath the slide needle to get rid of a nagging flat spot it had between the two circuits. Seems to have eliminated that problem.

Check for an air leak. You may have a leaky intake manifold seal.

Yep, same thing I was going to recommend. Sounds like you have an intake manifold leak.

I only use Viton seals on my bikes, theyll last forever, more pliable and wont deteriorate like Buna ones will. They can also take a LOT more heat.

To see if you have a leak in that area hit it with some brake cleaner spray. Youll find out really quick if it's got a leak.

I'm running a CV 44MM carb with 48 / 220 jetting on my 96" stroker. A/F gauge is right on 14.0 - 14.6 running 75 on freeway at 2k revs.

Should have been 2.5k revs. 6 speed on my FLHTCU.
