#12096 06MidnightStar (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 768 MaxFlo Air & Jet Kit 5 Years, 6 Months ago   Roadies: Is anyone using the MaxFlo Air & Jet Kit on their 1700 Road* Silverado? Are you also using the Maxmix screw? I need some feedback on your experiences. Are you happy with your purchase? Was it an easy set-up? Why would you or would you not recommend it to others? Thanks.   Logged     ---- 2006 Midnight Silverado, MaxFlo Air Kit, Roadhouse Classics 2-1 Pipes: OEM manifold, 190 Main, 37.5 Pilot, Needle (3rd groove, OEM white spacer), Maxmix Pro PMS (2.5 turns out), Accel Pump Duration (1 turn out, nut in front), Float Height (w/carb upside down): 16mm, 43+ MPG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #12097 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:MaxFlo Air & Jet Kit 5 Years, 6 Months ago   I'm still stock but hear the Baron's jet kit is the way to go. From what I've gathered the others are harder to dial in. Doc can explain much better than I can.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #12099 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:MaxFlo Air & Jet Kit 5 Years, 6 Months ago   The jets of the various jet kits are basically the same (Mikuni or DJ). It's the needle that is different and where the major differences may lie when tuning the carb. Remember that the needle affects mid-range performance but it also has some affect on the low end. From the feedback received, it appears that the shape of the Baron's needle may be better than other needles. But this is all subjective as I am not aware of any needle 'testing'. I'm using the Maxmix screw. It's shape makes it very sensitive to input and so it 's a bit harder to tune.

Of course, the down side to this scenario is that the support could get sloppy (and rightfully so) with a mish-mash of carb components.

Of course, the down side to this scenario is that the support could get sloppy (and rightfully so) with a mish-mash of carb components. Thanks. I think you've nailed the problem. With a 'known' or 'standard' jet kit the components have been 'matched', plus there is a probably a lot of experience from other riders. With a mix of components it becomes trial-and-error. In some cases the components don't seem to work well but that just may be due to not enough 'trials' on the rider's part.

Bike runs very strong I installed the 37.5 pilot jet but have also use the 35 and thought it pulled stronger. The Bike always had a carb cough just off idle since new. The was 35 less prone to coughing . Last month I changed the air bleed jet from a #100 to #80 and the bike is much stronger off idle with better throttle responce. The maxmix screw is 1/1/4 + or - a 1/8 depending on air temp in range of 38F to 100F. Hope this helps   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
