All you need are the (2) individual jets, pilot & main. You can buy them for <$5.00 ea.

There are/were other brands of kit. I think I used a Custom Chrome one on my Dyna. There is more than a couple of jets in those kits and getting them right will almost certainly involve buying more than just two of them!

Bump of an older thread:

Is this the best way to go, or can I piece this kit together locally for less/speed?

Yep, that's a good way to go, I've used their kit several times.

Does anyone know what size the jets are in this kit? I have email the seller and he refuses to tell me the size of the jets. I asked if he had a 45/190, he just said he cant help me. Let me know if you know the size, Thanks.

If you specifically want those jet sizes, you can get them from any supplier.

By asking him to tell you what sizes are in the kit you are asking him to hand over information he has worked out himself. When you buy a kit from him you buy a 'licence' to get that info!

I went ahead and ordered it. For the extra ten bucks, I don't have to go to the dealer, and I don't have to second guess.

Other than the jets, the best part of the kit deal are the replacement SS hex float bowl screws. They're much easier to work with and don't strip like the stock screws.

Man, you must have caught him on a bad day... I emailed Sorgys through Ebay and he not only told me the sizes, he offered to give me whaever sizes I requested. I ended up just buying a single pilot jet, but I would put in those cap screws if I had to get into the carb again.
