For a stock bike the .0295 slow jet should be fine if not a little too big. I would start with a .72 on the main jet or around that but no bigger to start with. If you have an .0295 in it now go up to .031 and run it.
You gotta read those plugs to know for sure when your about right. Browny/tan doesn't happen with todays fuel, but if you can get them to look medium grey your pretty right.
These carbs are dead simple but you have to adjust by the book and don't move to the next area until you have the first one right.
Strip it and check for clogs/debris and blow out the orifices with clean air. There is an orifice that you aren't suppose to blow clean but I can't recall which one--it's in the S&S book though.
Keep us posted....
Hi SportsterBob,
I didn't mean to infer that at all and bummer if it came across that way as I don't want to add confusion.
In my 2nd para above the meaning was to give Hog85 an idea of what may be a starting point for jetting on his stocker as he seems to be lean if he's able to get a better running motor using the enrichener.
