I've got a 93 FXSTS with the following modifications done over the winter:
EV27 Cam
AN Big Sucker Air Cleaner
HD Screaming Eagle Ignition Module
Hooker Troublemakers Exhaust
Since the weather isn't cooperating enough to ride, I'm trying to determine baseline jet sizes/settings. That way, when the weather is nice, it will be rideable, and I can fine tune from there.
With the setup above, any suggestions on main jet and idle jet sizes to start out? Thanks in advance!
is the carb stock?? meaning no jet kit installed yet?? If so I would use a 45 pilot at 1.5-1.3/4 turns out, and main jetting is a carp shoot as I have no idea what version of needle you have. Start with a 180-185 and go from there
Thanks for the reply! Itdoes have a jet kit in it with the slide drilled out,different spring,and the different needle (I can't remember off the top of my head which groove the clip is in, I believe it's 4th from the top). I believe it still has the stock pilot jet, and had a 180 main jet before I put the cam and big sucker air cleaner on...
Maybe I'll just a 45 pilot jet and go from there...
