Just installed ev27 andrews cam in my 1988 flhts. Has a 80" motor with new 8.5.1 pistons. Bored out .005 over.
Should the carb be set to a richer mix

Thanks Tony

Welcome to the forums!

You may or may not need to richen it up, have to see what the engine wants,
you can do plug chops and read the plugs to get it close.

Post this in the Evo section, you'll get plenty help over there.
