Have an S&S super E and I must leave the enrichener slightly, more than slightly open. If you close it then there is no gas flow.

 

How did you clean it? Idle circuit plugged? Float level?

 

IS the idle mixture screw in place or did it fall out ?

You have more air than fuel so, something is wrong

took it apart to see if any varnish is present, none, carb has a thunderslide kit in it, bout 10 years or more now, idle mix screw is in and backed out as i said in original post, what did i do wrong, i cant figure it out????? otherwise bike and carb are all stock

 

Then your carb isn't set up correctly either! It is not as bad as IronWright's, but needs attention.

IronWright, your poor carb still has problems. It may not be as clean as you intend, or even have something blocked as a result of cleaning it. There are tiny holes and passages in the darned things only put there to catch us out! The spitting is just tellin' ya to get the doctor....

 

headin out to the shop for a go again, aint leavin till she's runnin......maybe was just gittin late last night and i missed somethin......one of us is comein out of this in 1 piece thats for sure...lol

 

Question. How was the bike running before you tore it appart to clean it?

 

Same question:

Gas spitting is possibly a valve issue, like an intake hanging up. From there it's major evaluation time.

Let's hope it's crud lodged somewhere that can be washed or blown out of it's hiding spot.

 

I don't know why you are running such large jets on an otherwise stock bike??? Is the VOES vacuum line connected at both ends??? Sounds like a large air leak..
