rockertom Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Pretty sure I have solved the K&N now. After 100K, I deceided it was time to change out the float needles. Figured they were well worn. Anyways in doing so I checked the float height as I went along. Got to the second one and discovered they were different. Never dawned on me to check them before when I was sorting it all out before. Started over with the largest setting. Got all 4 at the same setting. Put it all back together. What happened? It was running a tad rich. Flat spots, not bad. But noticable. Even on roll on. A little popping on the Exhaust. Tell tale signs of being rich. Not blowing black smoke out the exhaust. So, I need more air or drop the mains. Didn't feel like dropping the mains. So A K&N was in order. Finially got a chance today to install and test ride. Pulls a bit harder than before. No flat spots. Either full twist or roll on. I am pretty sure the elusive K&N is solved for the carbie. Here's my details. Might change slightly for different exhausts. Mine is the Two Bro's Shotgun. I am also at sea level here in Florida. Reduce your mains 1 point for every 1,000 ft above sea level. Factory Pro kit. 165 mains (all 4) Needles on 2nd clip from top. With 1 shim installed. Float height set at 9/16ths. (all 4) Hope it works for anyone as well it is working for me. Thought I'd share my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's good to share. Thanks. Carbs can be a pain to adjust but when you get them right, they rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
