they do, just search. My concern about this China made product is a lot of chrome blocking air, and the breathability and quality of the filter element.
I made my own design which uses a K&N filter plus the convience to be able to change pipe look and filter element in 1 min. Just don't have the money to produce, mine will fit on stock carb, 42 carb, with stock or Nemesis manifold too

My concerne is operational, so i would prefer your design. I will have to search for one more like it.

No, that's the idle adjustment screw.

To see the location of the PMS screw, check out the carb articles in the Tech Articles .. they'll have pics.

Doc


The pics are very unclear. I assume i am dismantling the air intake to get at this screw and once there, what the h@#$ do i do with it?

I checked out the VooDoo coils, have plans to buy a set, any recommendations on good solid performance cables to go with them?


if you or the PO have never had the carb off the bike you may need to remove it to drill out the cap over the top of it. if the cap has already been drilled, then you can get to it real easy with a small flathead screwdriver. no removal of the carb necessary. There is an article about setting the PMS screw in the tech articles section. well worth the read.

There are no Nemesis coils. they went out of business about 3yrs ago. However, Nemesis used the Dyna coils in his own package. Dyna sells the 2.2 ohm coils for the Roadie, but they also carry a 1.5 ohm coil, this is what Nemesis used in their package. And more voltage has nothing to do with it, take a 50k volt spark capable from a coil, just because it can offer 50k does not mean it has to if all it takes is 35k volt to jump the spark gap. As well as there are other criteria to the make-up of a coil other than input resistance, output resistance, number of wire turns on both primary and secondary, the metal used that the wires wrap around, and an electrical term called "henries" which is a measurement

henry, unit of either self-inductance or mutual inductance, abbreviated h (or hy), and named for the American physicist Joseph Henry. One henry is the value of self-inductance in a closed circuit or coil in which one volt is produced by a variation of the inducing current of one ampere per second. One henry is also the value of the mutual inductance of two coils arranged such that an electromotive force of one volt is induced in one if the current in the other is changing at a rate of one ampere per second. See inductance



Think I screwed up the wiring on these coils Gotta read the instructions

Re:Thinking New coils and wires 11 Months ago  
Plans delayed. As i sat and watched the 85 degree sunshine out from my office, it occurred to me that i had just clamped a cable to my coil for the tach. Last winter, i had one cylinder go out on me because the connector wire had vibrated loose. But these symptoms we much worse. However, i looked when i got home and would you believe it, the cable with the tach had come off the coil. But as i said, in the past it was not near as bad. So I checked the other side and one had come loose there too. I immediately replaced them and she roared to life. Took a 25 minute ride just to make sure it was OK for me to drive it to work tomorrow. As I pulled into the garage, I saw my helmet sitting there. I was so excited that i wasn't looking at much $$$ to fix that i had forgotten to put it on.

SO WATCH IT SOCAL, dragoon is back on the roads,

I will upgrade coils and wires and change out my hyper-charger, but it wont be this weekend. I plan to logg 1000 miles or a broken back, which ever comes first. any medics care to join me
