    hello everyone....just picked up a used cv carb with a cv performance kit already installed. carb is going on a fresh 88 cubic in shovelhead with a stock 2 into 1 collector and a high flow air cleaner...i need to know what size jets should be used for this setup. carb came off a sportster so i was told. i haven't pulled the bowl yet to see what is in there now but would like your opinions before i start...thanks

    Is that a 80 in shovel or did someone bore it out some to make it a 88 ?

    cv carb will get good mileage and it will run smoother for sure.
