Thx Luciano ;) grazie!

i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me

@Salvador Nehemiah Instablaster =)

@Adam Jensen i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Adam Jensen it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass!

How is the mikuni performing? Is it very noticable? I am planning swapping my cv also. ( 2000 sportster 883/1200)

Have a trx300 with a CV carb on it, just upgraded to a Flat side Tm32-1 and instant response instead of a laggy CV.

Yes, usually keihin and clones have a fuel screw and Mikuni uses air scew

THX!!!!

Glad it was helpful!

I have dreams about that air cleaner now. May I ask the brand or any info I can use to locate one or similar?

Yeah, where can we get these!

A harley davidson with a flat slide is a beast, you should've got it properly tuned. Believe me.

yup any aftermarket slide will be worse than oem one if can't play with carb

Mikuni and the other flatside carbs are infinitely adjustable. That said, it’s also the reason a lot of people can’t get them to run right. There is a LOT of adjustment on a Mik carb. The manual has an excellent walk through to adjust them, but most don’t follow it. They slap it on, tinker a bit with the idle cuirtcuit and maybe the jets, usually in the wrong order or both at once, then give up and go to something else that is easier to get to run “ good enough”. Once correctly set up, a Mic will seem almost like fuel injection. ALL my HD run Mics, the reliability and performance is unmatched for carbs. However, if one mostly enjoys just cruising around with an occasional whack through the gears, the CV is a true gentleman. It’s reliable as a stone, gets great mileage and is smooth as butter in the midranges, where most people ride. The myriad kits they built to hot rod the CV are unneeded and , many times, cause issues. It’s been proven CVs can support engines up to around 90-100 hp. They just perform a bit differently, a bit less responsive it seems. Bottom line, MIC style carbs are phenomenal performers IF you have the patience to follow the procedures and tune them properly, or know someone that does. The CV will serve most people quite well as a daily driver and occasional romp, easy starts, great mileage and smooth. Also note it all has to come together as a package, intake, cams, comp ratio, exhaust all have to work together to make any engine run its best. Running big, open drag pipes and blaming the carb is pretty common when performance suffers. Running a huge overlap cam in a relatively mild engine, same deal, it just won’t work across the board. There’s a ton of info today on setting up an engine properly and tuning carbs, all available at your finger tips. Utilize it, or don’t , but don’t blame a piece of equipment for tuning failures, ie: if you have a stone stock motor, that cam won’t allow in the increased air from a bigger carb and the pipes won’t let it out, there’s no free lunch, do the work as a system, or leave it alone and ride it. A Shetland pony won’t run with a thoroughbred, no matter how nice a saddle you put on it…

@@megastick9324 Great reply. The HD with the Mikuni was sold a while back now. That particular bike was just a rolling gremlin. Someone else tried to hotrod the bike, and I got tired of fixing Daryll, Daryll, and Daryll's Performance Mods. Once I stripped it back to mostly stock, it ran well, but I was just sick of the thing, so I sold it off.

@@peted2770 yeah, as a bike mech I can tell you, on the older used HDs, and to a lesser extent, the old Jap bikes, the biggest issue is unfu#&ing what all the Daryl’s , and their brother in laws, have done to get back to a starting point.

Thank you 😊

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Thx John 😊

Have fun!

@@CustomCez it rips

Depending on what other mods you have made ( airfilter/pipes or engine), the pilot jet may need changing (richer) and the needle lowering to weaken things off. Lowering the needle will make the bike run weak at 'closed off' throttle positions so the pilot may need enlarging - don't forget to adjust the air screw. The main jet rarely needs to be much bigger than the standard one for the size of carb. The notches on the needle will raise or lower the needle about 1mm each notch - this is a very big adjustment, you can also get thin washers to put under the needle clip so as to raise the needle just partway between notches. The pilot jet supplied with the carb is good for standard engine/air filter and pipes but may need to be richened. The extra fuel it gives the engine is always there throughout the opening of the carb and so the needle may need to be lowered to weaken things back down again, so do not be tempted to make the main jet bigger. The needle being too high can mask the need for a richer pilot jet - this can be seen by the bike's engine overheating if you ride with the throttle closed a lot in traffic etc. You may then lower the needle a notch but find it needs to be raised a little from the lower setting with a thin washer or two so as to effectively only lower the needle a half a notch or so depending on the thickness or the washer(s) used. Highly tuned (altered) engines need a bigger pilot jet to allow the engine more fuel at low revs (throttle openings) as the suction is lower ( - the engine is 'off cam') and finds it hard to suck enough fuel through a small jet making it a weak mixture. As the throttle is opened and more air is sucked through the carb (more air than a standard engine/ airfilter and pipes would allow), it starts to suck too much fuel through the needle and needle jet combination and that makes it a rich mixture, so you lower the needle to weaken it a little. Pilot jets to go to may be 27.5, 30, 32.5 or maybe even 35. The strong pull you mention as the carb is currently set indicates a needle that is too high as the mixture is rich and gives excess torque - my sportster with Hammer cylinders and cams along with a flowed heads and open pipes has an HSR 45 fitted with a 32.5 pilot, needle is lowered one notch but raised a quarter notch with a thin washer, and it has the 175 main jet that the carb came with..... That is just an example not a recommendation...... hope you get it sorted !

The potential is there ( as it can support more power ) if you wish to go with hotter cams ect. Personally I would only go to stage 1 for longevity. Harley engines have long strokes and piston speed comes into play here with hot upgrades. You can only rev them so high. Great engines for cruising and midrange torque

Great point! It's all a chain of delays... not much but enough to smooth out the closing of the slide ;)

On an HD you can really feel the difference

I’m trying to find out too. Did you find one?

@@Shits-and-Giggles669 no

@@hotboy197988 I found out that he custom made it. I asked him if he would be interested in making another one, but I haven’t heard back yet. Thanks for the reply! ✌️

@@Shits-and-Giggles669 Probably not going to hear back if you haven't already. I would love to get my hands on one. I'll just have to make one myself if I want one.

CV

I'll look into it :) thanks for the suggestion

Thank you Billy 😊 i designed and built the air filter, took about a year of prototyping but in the end it come out pretty cool 😎 about 200 moving parts

@@CustomCez That is awesome! It shocked me when I saw it move the first time.

@@CustomCez do you have any to sell, that is a badass filter! i need that lol !

I want that air cleaner so bad

Hook us up with the air filter @Custom Cez Fai Da Te

pros of cv. zero. pros of a real flat slide{mikuni} literally everything apparently

I want to know too! Did you ever find out from anywhere else?

I’d like one too. Did you find one elsewhere?

I am also interested in that air cleaner. Smooth part!

Me too. Has anyone found out what kind it is?

I made it 😊

@@CustomCez that’s AMAZING! Would you consider making one for me? I’ll be glad to pay you for it of course. Really nice! 👌

Hahahha, you are not wrong 🤣🤣🤣

So if I want better gas millage go with a CV ??What I have now a older FLHTCU with compliance fittings and the older style carb.

@@samstinkeringaround8961 basically from what I got from this is cv is more fuel efficient, flat slide gives better performance. If you are wanting more horsepower you might be disappointed with a flat slide carb. If it was me I would buy a big bore kit before a carb. That way you have more power and the acceleration is smoother. If you buy the big bore kit and still need more power, get a performance carb and make sure your pipes arent smaller than the diameter of your exhaust port. The more air you can push in and out the faster you can go in simple terms

If you get better mog with the CV, its because your FCR is jetted too rich, or you keep stabbing the throttle a pumping fuel into the manifold when you should just be cruising.

You bet 😉

I don’t have voes on my ultima with a mikuni.

@@Shits-and-Giggles669 switched to voes with my sportster carb You have a blast as well?

@@thatbuelldude189 no I don’t. I’m very fortunate to have several bikes, but not a blast. The bike I was referring to is a custom ground up build . Stay safe on them streets! 😁✌️

@@Shits-and-Giggles669 same Have a 01 M2 Cyclone as well Hopefully getting a hardtail sporty with a built Cyclone motor soon That motor should put 120 horses to the ground Going to be a good lil upgrade on my m2

@@thatbuelldude189 sounds awesome. Definitely try to update me.

Thank you 😊

They are 4 and the harley only uses 1

I don't want to hear any VMAX boys complain about 3k for flatsides. You could have bought a Harley.
