05 Fatboy

I have a problem with my carburetor coughing during accelleration. It has done this since being new off the showroom floor. I've added the dynojet kit and this somewhat alleviated the problem, although it did not eliminate it.

Hi don't know if anyone can help but here goes!
We have all done it, got dressed up with all our rain gear and headed out in the worst Storm, cause we had to get there and we aint going to no biker party in the cage.
Then, 20 mins later there we are sat in the crutch puddle, wet cursing and feeling very sorry for ourself. Now! I have identified the problem and the fix but cannot get the big clothing companies to talk to me. I have tried and tested this idea through a UK winter and it works. I think it will be easy/cheap to produce and will sell worldwide as itis a "must have wet weather item for all bikers" {who would probably give their right nut for one! well that would only leave the one to sit in the puddle, If it were still there!}(Also for fair weather riders who would probably...

I keep getting a backfire out my carb while downshifting, happens about 50% of the time. I have put on Screamin' Eagle slip-on mufflers, Stage 1 carb kit, S & S air filter kit and new exhaust gaskets. WTF??? When I re-jetted the carb, I turned the mixture screw in as far as it would go and the engine never stumbled, maybe my idle jet is too big?
