For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance:

(1) The next time...

I have a late 84 sportster 1000 xl. It idles fine, but I have an intermittent miss at all speeds, it will come and go. I have new plugs, new air filter, checks and cleaned the fuel system. When this happens the tach goes crazy.

I have just bought a Harley Davidson, it needsrebuilt, it was bought from the British army, it is a 350cc and I believe it was for special forces it was made in 1995, I would appreciate any help and if there is a workshop manual I would like to know where I can get one.

Thanks

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question.

If I understand this right, you should rejet the carb (and change air filters)when you change exhaust. If you dont rejet the carb, you could run lean and possibly damage the engine. If I understand how a carb works (and I may not), the fuel is supplied by the "jets". The size of the "jets" determine the ammount of fuel delivered. If that is the case, why would changin the exhaust make the bike run leaner if fuel delivery by the jets remain unchanged. Will it actually damage the engine if you dont rejet or will it just impact on performance? Just wondering.......I read this forum alot and have found some excellent advice here. Thanks in advance for your replys.
