    Mitch, replied to your PM tonight. Sometimes it takes me a day to get to all my messages, business has been very busy lately.

    i didnt know if you got the pm because it didnt prompt me after pushing send like other forum sites similar to this one does!

    didnt intend to make you feel slow by any means just wasnt sure that it sent

    the bike will have stock jetting so whatever that is.

    i bought the bike in Georgia and brought it to minnesota there at 300' i'm at 1000 so i don't know if thats a major change for sure in a bike. on a 2 stroke sled it wouldnt make much difference but i'm new to bikes. when i ran it in the garage it seemed pretty rich.

    Right, 1000 feet is not much. The beauty of the CV carburetor is it's ability to self adjust at various altitudes.

    Where I live (700 ft) I can ride 45 miles north and be at over 6,000 feet or go south the same distance and be at sea level. The CV carb has always kept up no matter where I've ridden. I could never say the same for the S&S and Mikuni carbs that would be overly rich and have starting problems at higher elevations.

    Your bike may have been rich from the beginning.

    ok last weekend put the kit in pretty simple especially with the directions! got everything put back together and had the idle screw out right off the bat 2 1/8 turns. ran like a champ and didnt spit and sputter INSTANTLY! I'm not kidding it was night and day difference from stock. the carb when we got it off had already been drilled to access the mixture screw so i'm thinking harley did it, cause the previous and only owner said he didnt touch a thing. well from the get go it had been runnin rich and blowin black smoke. the screw was out 3 turns! i thought that tells it all to rich! I'm blown away how well the bike responds now. finally got a nice day of course i'm not home but my brother is and his bike is in surgery right now so he asks can i take yours for a spin is said fine.

    -after riding he started messing with the ez just screw and could never get the bike to stumble??? what does this mean? he said it still ran great after so i asked is the screw still out only 2 1/8th turns and he said probably not so i'll have to mess with it some more but i thought i better post this now before next weekend before i go home and hopefully get my first ride.

    thanks again
