Default CV pilot jet problems

Have a 95"TC, slightly bigger cams, V&H duals, ported/polished heads have 200 main 48 pilot, still have slight popping in carb and need to run enrichener out slightly. Guessing I have to go to a 52 or bigger pilot. Only problem is below 3000 rpm cold or hot. Appreciate anyone with experience with this or close setup. Also at 3500ft w no humidity. Thanks Big Al

Change to a richer needle.

Try a 1988 Sportster needle 27094-88 N65C and a .046 pilot.
