Just put new V&H pipes on my 99 fatboy, now I'm re-jetting the cv carb.
I am confused about instructions that say to put three washers(for adjustment I assume) ABOVE the e-clip at the top of the jet needle?
Wouldn't the washers provide more adjustment UNDER the e-clip?
And the new needle has several grooves to choose from to set the e-clip,
grooves and washers? isn't that two ways to set the same needle?
Does anybody follow this?......I just don't get what good the washers do on TOP of the needle e-clip.

What brand tuning kit?

Some kits have washers on top to stabilize the needle some use them for shimming.

It's a V&H jet kit, Kinda looks like a dynojet setup.
If washers are used for stability, why three?
why not just one thick one on top?
