    screw it to the bottom..LIGHTLY!! then back it out 2 1/2 turns.....the bike must be warmed up.....about 10 miles of running the road at about 2500 rpm. if it still sputters then back it out 1/4 turn and try again. you shouldnt need to back it out over 3 1/4 turns. if you do you need bigger jets............

    chucktx, TY for the assistance, I wound up changing the mid jet to 145 from 142 as well, it now responds to idle jet adjustments correctly, kudos

    I just found your post about the triangular brass piece you found in your carb. I too found one exactly like yours when I dissassembled my CV carb. Have looked all over the internet and finally found your reference to it. I have the original shop and parts manuals for my bike and it doesn't show up in any breakdown shown. So I was surprised and happy to see the comment/response from your local Harley shop that it was not a part of the carb. Strange though that it would show up in at least two of them. My bike is a 90 Electra Glide Classis that I bought new; the carb has never been worked on in a shop.

    That's interesting. I've had my CV carb apart several times and never saw a triangular brass piece. Not in the service manuals either . . . strange . . .
