Default engine knock

[sm=confused06.gif] hello all , i have a 95 fatboy with a mild cam and a mikuni carb and a force winder air intake .thequestion is can the carb make the motor sound as if it were knocking. the sound is most previlant through the force winder air intake tube. i have listened to the motor from top to botom front to back and really cant isolate the noise any where else. any thoughts would help

I think that's the norm for the Mikuni???? I'm pretty sure it's just the Slide that is just rattling... Nothing to worry about......

Yeah I agree, I've heard that knock from the Mikuni's before, its just the slide rattling in the bore.
