Sunday did about 100,just me,average 44 mpg. DJ190,3rd clip,PMS at 3. Ran GREAT What do ya`ll think? PMS 1/2 turn in or maybe needle 2nd clip? For a couple more?

Don't move the clip to 2 (from the top) as it's getting up into the taper and it isn't as effective in this area. Did you try setting the PMS by turning it in slowly until the bike stumbes and then out again until it stumbles. Halfway between these two points is a good place to start to fine-tune it. Don't forget that at 7000' you're running much richer so you gas mileage would have been poorer (30.5).

Have`nt tried backing it in till it stumbles,hard to reach and not get burned. Have it dyno`ed today after work.I`ll let you know the results.Later   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #6496 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:First run on new jetting 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Yea, it's a tight fit back there with the stock PMS and the aircleaner on. My PMS has a long head and with the BAK it's easier to reach. But I still wear gloves. You can take the aircleaner off to adjust the PMS. The 'stumble' method is only approximate anyways. The dyno should help you out but an EGA is the trick if you can get one hooked up.

A 1st. That just a small rod with a wheel on the end bringing it down 3 inches should work.Gonna buy a extra screw and try it! What do ya think?   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #6500 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:First run on new jetting 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Yes .... but it has to be smaller than the head of the PMS and you have to solder it on the end without deforming it. Check this out and modify it for your purposes .... http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/161/96/ Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access. #6501 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:First run on new jetting 5 Years, 11 Months ago   If you could keep it from falling out or turning on it's own from the extra weight it would be a huge help. Maybe someone has checked into this, but do they make those flexible spring shaft screwdrivers with a small enough tip?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #6506 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:First run on new jetting 5 Years, 11 Months ago   There`s a small area between the end of the screw and the bottom of the carb if you use a small rubber bushing that was tight against the rod and snug against the inside area of the part right after the screw should keep it in place? What do ya think?   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #6509 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:First run on new jetting 5 Years, 11 Months ago   I think Musky's right; the 'extension' may need to be supported 'cause if you move it back and forth a bit ... somethings gotta give. I had some pics from a guy who make a bracket that screwed to the carb. I'll try and find it but with 400 gigs of 'stuff' on the 'puter it might take years to find Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access.
