-====== Aftermarket Idle Mixture Screws and Mods ======
+\\
+====== Needle & Emulsion Tube ======
+\\
+Changes in the needle and emulsion tubes from aftermarket vendors may modify the (stock/oem) AFR from just off idle thru wide-open throttle. The length and size of the needle as it moves thru the needle jet along with the size and placement of the holes in the emulsion tube, will determine the air-fuel ratio of the fuel. Along with the other operating parts of the carb, they affect how well the engine operates under each varying condition.
+CV Performance offers two aftermarket needles, Velocity & N65, and one emulsion tube, Velocity. The CVP N65 is designed as an equivalent alternative to the Keihin N65C needle, which HD & Keihin have stopped producing. The Velocity Needle & Velocity Emulsion tube are designed to provide a different AFR.
+Using unknown parts or parts designed to radically alter the carb operation to favor one specific enhancement will often complicate or degrade the overall smooth operation of the carb.

 This screw is billed as "Easily tune and adjust your idle mixture without burning your hands or fumbling with a screwdriver." ((https://cv-performance.com/ez-just-mixture-screw)) \\
 This is not entirely true as you have to get your hand between the exhaust and air cleaner. \\

+**CVP Easy-Just IMS - Modding**\\
+From RandallM of the XLForum((Post#80 - http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2081062)) - Here is how I indexed my screw. I filed some small flats on a small nail, and JB Welded it in the slot. I left the small end sticking out a bit so I can feel both ends.

 Several mods to the thumbscrew have been done to make counting turns while turning the screw easier. \\

-====== Adjustable Main Jet (L76-87) ======
-There is an adjustable main jet available from J&P Cycles or others. \\
-These work great and you don't have to fool around jet guessing whether you have the right size main jet or not. \\
-They are simple to adjust. Just wind it up to about 65 MPH and run it in until it misses and back it out about a full turn. ((oldnavy of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=877868&page=2)) \\
-This kit can be purchased online. It comes with an installation guide and index pointer. \\
-The tool marks inside of the float bowl (as installed) for drilling the proper sized hole to thread in the adjustable main jet.\\

-This replaces the main jet (has to be removed). \\
-The float bowl has to be removed to install the adjustable main jet. \\
-A guide tool is included with the kit to install the new jet to properly index the carburetor float bowl. \\
-A index pointer is installed in the guide, bowl reinstalled and the pointer is pushed down from inside the venture to dimple the bowl. \\
-The bowl is once again removed and a 1/16"-1/8" pilot hole is drilled followed by a 15/64" bit. \\
-After checking for burrs, removing the index tool and guide and cleaning up, the adjustable jet is installed in the float bowl. \\
-(partially unscrew the small 'T' handle so that the needle in the adjustable jet is not exposed to accidental damage) \\
-Remove the nut from the adjustable jet, insert the jet through the 15/64" hole drilled earlier. \\
-Then re-tighten the bowl and gently screw in the 'T' handle to the needle seat and then back it out 4 turns. \\
-Finer tuning can be achieved by reading the spark plugs and small adjustments to the “T” handle. \\
-This adjustable jet eliminates the chore of carrying and continually changing different main jets with every change in exhaust system or air cleaner. \\
-The hole in the bowl for the 'T' handle jet has to be indexed correctly in order for this to work. \\
-The adjustable main jet is designed to operate in conjunction with a 1.80 main jet included with the kit. \\
-Make sure you record or remember the number of turns off the seat and back off the 'T' handle before removing the float bowl later. \\
-This will help prevent needle / jet interference when the float bowl is reinstalled. \\
-For initial adjustment (standard pipes and A/C) it's recommended that the adjustment needle be backed out four (4) turns from the seat.
-The adjustable jet set screw is turned in, towards the float bowl to lean the fuel/air mixture and out from the float bowl to richen the mixture. \\
-Check plugs frequently after jet adjustment, exhaust or A/C to avoid too lean or too rich conditions. \\
