XXX Carb

Anyone ever use or have any feedback on XXX Carb products specifically the Booster kit?

TIA

I think XXX was spun out of DaVinci in some form or fashion. I was more interested in the booster kit. Here is my story as to why I inquire.

I had an SS carb put on my bike a few years ago and it was kicking and coughing. It wasn't bad enough not to ride but sure was annoying. We tried adjusting it for months and nothing. So I brought to the local dealer so they could dyno it. Come to find out I put the wrong carb in the bike. It was for 88in motors and up. When SS web site to see how I could have F'ed up and it wasn't so clear which was the correct carb. I don't remember the details. During the process I bought the booster kit from XXX and never put it in. I thought maybe it would distribute the gas better. Anyway the dealer did a good job adjusting the best that could be done and the bike ran great and they said I wouldn't need to replace the carb.

So now that riding season has been put on hold for a little while again I figure I'd put that boost kit in since I already bought it but wanted to make sure that I'm not wasting my time. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to the mechanical aspect to bikes. I don't touch motors and trannies but I'll will do pretty much everything else.

Thanks

I put the booster on my S&S...helped with the cough,that I got off idle.

I put a Super G in and Dealer said it was the wrong carb for the bike. I'm going to put the booster in and see what happens. Thanks for all the replies.

The G is just a bigger version of the E, so I assume you are getting too much fuel and having to lean it way down. How far in is the lean/rich screw turned? Some where about 1 1/2 turns out is where I run my E's. I start at 1 1/2 and screw it in (leaner) until it misfires and back it out a half turn, then watch the spark plug color and adjust accordingly. When you took it to the dealer did he just tweak the lean/rich and idle screws or did he re-jet. Possibly a smaller jet might cure the problem. I never ran a G but have E's on two of my bikes. Changing the jets is no big job and the jets are not very expensive. You could go down one size and see what happens and if necessary go down 2 sizes. AL

It's running good now so I'm going to let it be. Thanks, great info and will do that in the future if needed. I don't remember exactly what the dealer did. My memory doesn't work like it use to. It was actually last year that I had the dealer dyno it. However I did by the booster and was wondering if it would be worth using it.
