Hello, just ordered the CVP stage 1 for my 94 xlh1200

And I have a few questions to get me ready to install it.

1. I really NEED to see photo's, if any one has them, of the drilling
procedure for dealing with the mixture screw. I am a visual person,
and have been reading and not understanding how to do this. I am under
the impression that i need to drill out the stock mixture screw.

Most importantly i would like to see the pre-drilled part of the procedure,
and equally important the actual procedure.


2. right now I am running with a stock airbox and 1 3/4 baffled drag pipes.
I am planning to upgrade the airbox soon, but this is my set up now. How
should I jet? What jets am I getting? will i need to re-jet after i put in new
hi flow airbox?

3. Gas mileage? wha are you guys getting mileage-wise with this stage 1
kit and an aftermarket exhaust and air cleaner.

Ill probably think of more questions. Thanks in advance to helping out with this issue.

Thanks guys. The thing is, I think that the carb on my scoot already gives
me access to the air mixture screw.

I was trying the idle drop method of turning the screw in each direction till the engine cuts. I get it to the soft closed position and it goes out, but as i was
opening it, the engine never konked out, ergo, could not find the sweet spot.

What does the extra hole on the slid do?

got the kit. I rebuilt the carb with all the parts. I have not yet put the carb back on the
bike as it is pouring here in LA. I would like to replace the plastic elbow but wont have
time to order one before I reinstall the carb. you think anyone in LA has them in stock and can install it?

couple of questions about the parts in the carb kit :
1. i had an N72V needle in my carb. what difference does the needle in the kit
provide? will it affect mileage.
2. what affect does the brass elbow (not the stock) have on mileage considering
the increase in flow.

checkflag - If you plan on replacing the elbow with another plastic elbow my advice is don't!! - Get the hiflow brass elbow instead and take out the old one; they have a habit of breaking off which makes for a little excitement when the gas hits the hot pipes if ya git my drift.
Putting in the new elbow is best done before you start putting anything into the carb.
Most of the local INDYS carry the brass elbow and I think chucktx also has them.

i had no intention of using the plastic one.. mine is cracked as it is. I shoulda ordered the brass one when i ordered the kit. oh well. Where in CA are you located at, Glendora.. I'm in los angeles, and it took like a whole 7 days to get the package. Even with snail mail it should only take a day or 2. Do you know any retailers in SoCal/los angeles CA where i can pick up this part? I have my carb apart and would like to get the elbow done this weekend.

how bad do you think the cracked plastic will effect fuel mileage.

alright.. ill have one please.

I was hoping to take a hot babe to Neptunes Net in Malibu tomorrow. oh well.
Payment sent for 1 fuel elbow to go to Culver City CA. If you have any fuel hose
could you please throw in a stock length?

Sweet, Thanks man.. I just broke off the plastic part but the brass piece is
really dug in deep. I am not so sure Ill be able to get it out myself. Can the dealership mechanics get it out>? I want to be able to pop in the new piece as soon as I get it so i can put the carb back on the bike and ride man.

thanks again.

cool, went to hardware store today, spent 10 bucks for an extraction kit
recommended by that website and got it out with very little effort. Looking forward to getting the new elbow.

I also found that the small rubber diaphram on the bottom had cracked rubber, so I need to replace that part. I wonder if that had anything to do with my crappy mileage that i have been getting.

Thanks Ken. Yeah, that's the part I'm talking
about. I was going through he carb today and
noticed the rubber had ripped. I couldn't help
wondering if that coulda been a cause of my
bad mileage. That and the leak in the elbow.

Any way I'm getting one tomorrow and when I
get the brass elbow on I cannot wait to fire up the
bike and see the differences.
