What kind of engine does a Sportster have?
05/1200C with SI-II AC and HD 49 state script exhaust. 48 pilot, 185 main with stock needle (no shims) and 1.75 turns out on mix screw. I think I’m on the lean side on the slow, but I’m leaving it in there as I’m hitting Colorado this weekend… 48/180 seems awfully rich for an 883, but what do I know? All bikes like different things.
What kind of jet do you use for a Sportster?
I am currently using a #48 slow jet and a #180 main jet with no shims on the needle and 1.5 turns out on the screw. It seems to be running pretty well now (replaced the 45/175 that the dealer had in there). I’m a bit concerned about running rich now but as best I can tell it’s worlds better than before, and I’d rather be rich than lean any day.
