| Bottom line is that a kit is totally unnecessary to make a good running CV. You can do it with less than ten bucks worth of jets from your dealer, or an outfit like CV Performance. In some cases you'll get it to run a little better with a couple bucks more for a new needle, too, depends on the needle you already have. Do that, and the carb will work as well as it's ever going to work. | Bottom line is that a kit is totally unnecessary to make a good running CV.

| Stock Keihin needles & jets are often critical to a well operating carb. Note these comments by Joe Minton in reference to HD & aftermarket carb tuning kits: “The needle and needle jet in these kits are made of brass; the stock Keihin needle is polished hard-anodized aluminum, and the needle jet is hard brass. The brass-on-brass of the kit wears quickly and further richens an already too-rich mixture. The stock parts hardly wear at all. I have examined stock needles and jets with 45,000 to 70,000 miles of use and could not detect measurable wear.” | Stock Keihin needles & jets are often critical to a well operating carb.
