I building a 03 Americia I bought after the previus owner disassembled it for some chroming, and crash repairs. I just fired it up for the first time yesturday. I opened and cleaned the carbs before installing them onto the bike months ago. But now months later I have started it for the first time and is missing badly on the left cylinder. I'm as sure as I can be the carbs are the source of the problem. So I'm going to remove them and rework them again. But know that I know that these pipes are loud!!! And they diffinatly are not TOR's from the factory like my speedmaster has on it. These things are twice that loud.
There is deffinatly going to be some jetting required. I was wondering if anybody can give me a baseline on how I should setup these carbs to accomidate these pipes. I'd preffer to just go get me some Kiegn main jets, and maybe a needle. Rather than buying a whole jet kit. And what would make a good baseline for the idle air mixture screw.
I would greatly appreciate any advice here. I'm ultimatly out to get this bike running perfectly. After all its for my brother not for me. I fix things he just gives them to me to fix. So Id preffer to be conservative when choicing what jets to use.
