What to start with on my carb ?
I have a Softail '05 with carb and added Se air filter and adding Se double barrel exhaust system. I read a load of posts over the last week, including all the recommendations on Stage I rejett. I was just looking for others who did the same mods and what I need to start with. Stock jetting on my carb is 190/45. I read somewhere to start with 46 slow and add two #4 washers under needle, 2 1/2 turns on the air/fuel mix screw. Is this correct or is there something else to start ? Please help.
Thanks Jim

If this new SG had a CV carb, I would definitely install another.

RE: What to start with on my carb ?
Right now I'm running the Sportster needle, 46 slow jet 2 1/4 turns out, and a 190 main. The bike is rich at 12.8 a/f ratio, but it makes good power and runs cool down here in south Texas with the added fuel. Last time on the dyno it made 77.2 hp, 82.5 tq
I had the Dynocrap kit in it for a while. It ran good and gave me around 41 mpg but it lacked the midrange that the current set-up makes. The current set-up made a noticeable difference in the entire range but particularly in the midrange, it runs smoother, and gets better gas mileage. I will lean it out to around 13 - 13.2 when I finish the engine mods that I have planed.
