Need some quick advice

2006 Storty Custom 883 carborated added heavy breather and it was already re jetted prior to the installation due to it having a Screamin Eagle air cleaner installed by Harley prior to me getting the bike. They told me all I would need to do is add the Heavy Breather and it should be fine.

Carburetor is burping/spitting/possible backfire CHECK ENGINE light will come on and off once in awhile as well

This means its getting too much gas ? Is this just a simple carb adjustment or do you think it needs re jetting ?

I have the re jet Dyno kit in front of me and there is the following still in the container

160 jet
170 jet
180 jet

So it looks like they used the 190 jet Main

Could this just be a carb adjustment ?

Please help I'm planning on a trip for Wed !

Need to know what exhaust you're running with the Heavy Breather before a jet recommendation can be made. Air In / Air Out, work hand in hand.

I'm guessing those are just "slip on" mufflers. More important than the main jet is the Pilot jet size. What's installed in the carb? A #45 should be the Max Pilot on an 883 with a Max 175 Main for a typical Stage 1 setup.
