Sorry this might be a double post but I bet I get better reponse here than in the fuel section.
,
I picked up a 1995 FXDL a week or so ago. I believe it is running lean. It has the stock filter and screaming eagle slip ons. I just got a cvp jet kit. I am going to put a KN filter in the stock housing...so My question is..in the instructions it say to use a 46 pilot and 185 main jet for stag one setup. Would this work for my setup?
Sorry..I'm brand new to harleys

 

Good starting point, probably correct, 2 1/2 turns out on the idle mixture to start,

try one or two shims under the needle.

 

IF it is the original factory unmodified carburetor and you are adding a hi-flow air cleaner and a set of pipes or slip ons, you can usually install a #48 low speed jet and not fool with anything else, it would be beneficial to remove the idle mixture plug and back out the screw like the previous poster recommended, but I would suggest starting with the low speed jet first and keep an eye on your spark plugs, they should be a light tan color after a couple hundred miles.

 

46/185 is what u start out with on any bike

 

Really? I thought a 175 would be better on a 1200. Would 46 be a tad big?

 

1200????
