Carbed 05.Starts and runs fine.Has the a/f plug removed,opened a/c,pretty quiet super traps.When it was warm runs fine,now that the weather has gotten cold it spits out the carb quite a bit when warm and cruising.What do you think?

Sometimes you may have to adjust the idle mixture screw in the cold weather. If that dont work, try sneaking up on the pilot jet or shimming the needle. Try one at a time, and check results before another change.

What jets you got in there now?

Hey,I think the old boy was right!Put that needle in bike runs great! No more popping,seems to warm up quicker.Too soon to tell about fuel mileage but I am real happy the way the bike runs.Could have alot to do with the new chrome carb cover though! Sportster needle and a/f out about 2 3/4 turns
