Yeah the jets I ordered are one step up bigger 145s and 146s.and then one shim for each needle. I also finally broke down and bought a motion pro 90 degree adjusting tool, for the carbs. I have only ever owned one bike that wasnt carbed cant believe i waited this long to order one. I used my friends tool and couldnt believe how easy it makes things.

If i go the a/f meter route where is the bung, and sensor placed in the exhaust. Would think it should be at ther collector where the 4 down pipes merge?

well the EGA we have is new and is accurate. The readinga i was getting were off and like i said it seemed like i am getting to much fuel off idle. This weekend i am going to set it on the bike so i can monitor it as i ride.Then i can do a 30 to 80 mph roll on which it will actually capture that co2 readings on accelleration. I have a set of mains and needle shims coming for the bike incase i need them. With a set of slip ons and no change in airbox i will bet no jetting will be needed.

Ironic that I am too looking for a A/F set up now too. There are a couple nice used on Fleabay I am watching.

Can you point me in the direction of a kit or parts that you used. Thanks.

I installed the Delkevic 9inch ovals can andmid pipes on my 97 BB. I hve acces to a EGA and on testing idle and cruise,i recieved these results. idle 1100 rpm 2.5% CO, at cruise or 1/3 of max rpm 4.15% CO. Now according to the EGA I should be at about 3% idle good there. But at the cruise or 1/3 max rpm it is suppose o be 1/2 to 1/4 of the idle reading. So i should be at like 1 to 1.5% not 4.1%, would this indicate that i am too rich at off idle cruise rpm? Might need to check needle setting? Anyone have any exprience using EGA, i use it at work to check forklifts for CO reading.

This has been a issue for several years now since EPA has started getting thier dick skinners into everything. When doing cam break i use a little bottle of additive the parts store will sell you. All the additive does is helps the engine do its normal initial wear.

I got the new cans on the bike and have done a WOT plug check. and the readings are good. Nice brown ring and color. I pulled one of the covers and it had a needle with clip plus one washer. On the fuel bowls it has allen head bolts not philips head, so would tell that it has a jet kit installled.
The question I do have is on a stock set of carbs, do they come with needles that have the adjustable c clip on them or are these aftermarket? On the parts breakdown all i see is a washer on the needle.
