| carb cough
I have a 1980 FX, 80 incher, stock Keihn carb with an andrews pump on it, the bike has a Sifton cam in it but not sure what the number is, also has 2 in drags with a bolt and washer baffle in each pipe. I get a cough out of the carb when running down the road, its a nuisance, have checked the idle mix and all but nothing seems to correct it, planning on an S&S this winter but if anyone has an idea shoot me a line.
ride safe all and take care |

| What jets are you running?
Both main and intermediate. It sounds to me like the intermediate jet may be a bit too lean. | |

| I upped the pilot jet two sizes, from a 74 to a 76 , that took care of the problem, already have a freer flowing air filter , thanks for the reply | |
