Just put the '88 sporty needle in it and turn the idle mixture screw out 2 turns to start. Read the plugs and go from there.

Well, the CV carburetor needs a support for the front. It just is held in place in the rear by a gasket. So unless you want to use the Harley Air Cleaner, get the carburetor support bracket (29116-83) used on the Keihin carburetor. It will provide the support needed without the big air box of the original.

I do have the original High flow Air Cleaner used on my EVO.
It has the base plate, filter, and uses the factory A/C Bell.
If you are interested, PM me.

Bad valve guide seals. You might need a head job.
Or at least the springs removed and seals replaced.

I don't know if a head job will fix the bike but the next time I find something wrong with the white bike, I'll see how the wife responds, havn't used that line yet.
