Re:New carburator, airfilter and manifold. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago

if it's new, just look in the tuning manual, it will show what is stock parts. (parts breakdown page)
but if ya don't
160 main
25 pilot (pilot screw will be set at 2 turns out from factory)btw, this 2 turns out will always be the start point. if you change pilot jets, again, start screw at 2 turns
70pump nozzle
97 needle clip 3rd groove

if it's the sportster model
20 pilot jet
60 pump nozzle
all else same
