Default S&S E Carb Jetting

2001 Softail Standard
S&S E Carb
2 into 1 Exhaust

I’m having trouble nailing down correct jetting. When I role on the throttle there is a delay and then kind of spits or misses a beat?

current jets are
main 295
intermediate 72

Have you given S&S a shout? And checked for intake leaks? I put a S&S E on my '87 Softail ('99 crate motor) running old-style 2-into-1 style headpipes with a 30" fishtail straight pipe and it was set up perfectly from the factory.

Got the jets backwards , mains 72 and the im. is .295.

Far as jetting goes depends on the motor setup and condition, intake leak will drive you nuts chasing jetting and sounds like you have one somewhere.

I put brand new exhaust gaskets and flanges, checked for seal and it good. Only issue is when I throttle up hard it lags, slow role on is good.

Sounds like you need to adjust your accelerator pump

All of the info that you posted above would have been helpful to know in your original post. Especially the cam info. That makes a difference. You have to help us help you and we are not mindreaders. Glad you got it sorted out
