Maybe if I rephrase the question, it'll make more sense than my earlier post...
My buddy has an SU Eliminator II carb on his chopper, and its spitting gas out of the throat under hard acceleration or just when revving the motor. I've been flying blind with this carburetor, as it seems to be quite different from the SU carbs I've worked on in the past. The biggest difference being the location and adjustment of the mixture needle. The bike didn't come with any information on this carb, and Yahoo! searches have been fruitless. Does anyone have any pointers how to adjust this carburetor? One of the guys here at work suggested that its a float level issue rather than a mixture issue, but I'm open to suggestions.

If all else fails, Plan B is to rebuild and reinstall the Zenith carb...

could someone respond if you have had same problem and have some ideas its my husbands bike and i am trying to help out

On a 2004 Flhtcui Electraglide I installed the Screaming Eagle slash down mufflers. Bike runs pretty good without re-mapping, a little popping on deceleration. Plug tests indicate small amount of richness. I suspect that if I install Screaming Eagle or Big Sucker breather kit, I will need to install a Power Commander. I don't really want to go to the extra expense. I'm wondering if just replacing the filter element with a K & N filter will eliminate the richness and also eliminate the need for re-mapping.

Any experience or comments on this subject? All comments are appreciated.

I have a 2004 Road King Classic, I just put new screamin Eagle slip on mufflers on yesterday. The parts guy at my HD dealer told me I did not need to do the stage 1 kit or update the ECM software right now, (or never), if I did not want to. Am I running a risk of hurting the engine without the ECM download?

Thanks for any help.

I am trying to find a turn signal relocation kit for my Sporty that will relocate my rear turn signals (horizontally) to the license-plate bracket area. I purchased Easy Brackets for my saddlebags, but what HD sold me for relocating the turn signals puts the signals where the brackets go. I am searching websites, including this one, for any kinds of relocation kits that will work, but that are not to relocate the signals to the rear hole of the fender guard. HD sold me some of those already, and they obviously won't work. HELLLLLP!! Thanks!
