Fuel screw setting (pilot jet change)
#31
Thanks Tweety. I had begun thinking about that before playing
with it to make sure I know where I am, and where I need to go.
I did the TPS earlier this week, and made sure I took precise readings before playing with it. I was at 900omhs, so, I knew where I need go
before removing it.

I just saw this. Not sure if it would work but hand adjustable would be sweet

If you are really **** you can mess with it a long time and even attach the balance tool so to get both just right. Unfortunately, weather, temp, and all those factors will affect the tune from day to day so it never stays the way it was set up but the changes aren't really all that noticeable unless it's a track bike.
My experience is with Kart racing, two stroke engines. 125cc shifter karts, and 125cc clutch driven karts. Once at the track, temp, humid, and barometric pressure is what I read, and jet accordingly. Carb veturi's are between 28mm to 34mm according to race category, and I can tell you
air screw mixture is pretty stable, and barely need to play with this.
Once again, I am not sure the V-Twin is going to feel it if you play with it on a daily basis, but then again, I may be wrong. Four stroke is different then two stroke engines. Silencer volume and design affects enormously a two strock engine. Even the type of driver, will determine a portion of the jetting I will provide in order to have the engine run right....but now, I'm out of line with this.

I am probably getting ahead of myself, but, I don't think playing around with the air screw mixture on a daily basis will provide any satisfactory gain. I will set mine as per 8541Hawks suggestion, fine tune from there, and forget about it.

BTW, got a cool boost joint today. Cheers!!

In my case, with altered pipes, jets, air box, filter,etc., you're on your own. The way I use to get in the ball park is to take it to an extreme point one direction, see how it runs, then take it to the other extreme and see what happens. One extreme will usually be obviously worse. Tweak accordingly. Then, to get it right on, get or make the tool and adjust while idling.

Happy it got to you in timely fasion. It is a cool piece. I now have to get one for mikstr, he wants one also.
Nath, I ended up using a flat head precision screw driver, and applying
pressure on the flat portion of the D shaped screw, slowly got it to budge.
Once it began moving, the rest was easy. Once off, dremeled the head
and tested with my tool, it works perfectly. I do have the 90 deg. screw driver for this job, so, I set at 2 1/4 front, and 2 1/2 rear as per suggested many times. Once the white sh**....eh....snow clears next spring, I'll be able to fine tune as you mentioned.

As for the OEM, part, I've never seen it, so I do not have a reference for you. And, I've always used that with the TecMate calibration tool.
