| - | * The usual method to set idle mixture/speed is: | ||
| - | * First: Set idle MIXTURE screw to 7/8 turns out. Get the bike hot. Set idle at comfortable speed with the idle SPEED screw. ((Hopper http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276157&page=2)) | ||
| - | * Second: Adjust the idle MIXTURE screw to the point where engine runs the fastest. This is optimum mixture. ((Hopper http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276157&page=2)) | ||
| - | * Third: Adjust idle SPEED screw again to get desired idle speed. ((Hopper http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276157&page=2)) | ||
| - | * The spring on the idle speed screw tends to creep the idle speed back up if you try to adjust the idle just that little bit slower. So I adjust the idle speed screw right down too slow, then nudge it up slightly faster until I get the speed I want, then it stays there. ((Hopper http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276157&page=2)) | ||
| - | * If your bike idles best with the idle mixture screw less than ½ turn open, you need a smaller low speed fixed jet. ((Hopper http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276157&page=2)) | ||
| - | * If your bike idles best with the idle mixture screw more than 1-1/4 turns open, you need a larger low speed fixed jet. | ||
| - | * This is real important. It also is the way to stop “carb farts” – spitting back or backfiring through the carb. | ||
| - | * If your Ironhead has aftermarket free-flow exhaust and airfilter on it, it will almost certainly need a larger low speed fixed jet, and most likely a bigger main jet too. But it is the low speed jet that affects the dreaded carb farts. Main jet affects mixture at wide open throttle and if left lean can overheat the engine, or burn holes in pistons.
