Anyone in my area have Glenns a/f tool? I think I need to adjust my mixture setting. It's just not feeling right since the weathers turned cooler. Thanks and ride safe.

Just go to his site and buy it. I got mine in 3 days. Then you will have it when you need it.

Instead of getting the tool, I ordered the permanent mount A/F screw. Now its easy to adjust the carb.

Thanks, I plan on buying one when I can, but I'll try the 22 shell for now.

Ordered mine a couple days ago. Track number says it's getting close! Maybe today or tomorrow. I hope you guys are right about the easy install. I also purchased the permanent one. Am looking forward to making some needed adjustments.

Glen, is there still a 2 to 3 week wait as stated on your website?

Either the Screw or Tool is definitely worth buying. Actually, ANYTHING from Glen's site is!

Hey Glen~~ I have your A/F tool and it works great, but am considering installing your permanent adjuster. What is the installation process? Also I have the BAK air box. Which one would I need?

Remove the tank and air box. Remove the old a/f screw. Install the new screw.

The 5-1/2" is for the non-stock aiir box.

Enjoy your ride.

+1 the permanent mount is much easier to deal with. always adjustable anytime and anywhere!

Is the Permanent Mount the hanging there, pointing down?

I wonder if it could be mounted in a way similar to the Choke.. Or hell, replace the damn choke with the AF Tool... dont need the choke anyway...

Thanks for the info. Glen. Can I actually get my hand back in there to remove the screw with the air box off? I don't remember that being possible. Sorry to be so dense.

I supply a small brass tool to help you remove the old a/f screw.

Enjoy your ride.

Got my permanent AF screw from Glen a few days ago and installed it yesterday. Upon removal of the original screw I found it to be turned out only 3/4 of a turn from the seated position. That explains the terrible hesitation when the bike is cold and the decel popping. No wonder the bike would flatten out in WOT. I also discovered that I did not have a spring on the original screw. I checked the hole with a dental mirror and it wasn't stuck up there. Anyone else not find a spring?

Anyway, installed the perm screw and brought it out to 2 1/4 turns and went for a ride. As everyone said the bike started with no choke although it needed a little twist on the throttle, but no hesitation, coughing, bucking, etc. when I left the driveway. What a relief! The bike pulls nice and strong in all gears regardless of RPM. It really moves out nice and no more popping. What a great tool Glen supplies for us VTX Owners. I couldn't imagine taking everything off and on while trying to micro-tune the AF screw. Best $40 I've spent in a while. Why did I wait so long?

Thanks Glen!

Harry · #25 11-08-2009, 11:13 AM

i got my permanent AF-Tool and the clutch set some days ago and put both in yesterday.
works like a charm, clutch is soft as warm butter.
i only do not know, how to get rid of the decel popping. its still there whether going to fat or lean - still popping!

Just guessing its because the lower muffler (they are from a HD Dyna) is not fasten all the was and there is air getting out.
Going back to the stock-mufflers. don't like that excessive noise while riding. (but still ride with earplugs)

ride safe

DIDO43 · #26 05-17-2010, 10:31 AM

question ....do the instruction come with it?

Harry · #27 05-17-2010, 11:47 AM

yep - all together with pictures.

and its so easy, even a caveman can do it

and if you buy the clutch reliever - buy the rivet removing tool (was that the right name???)also.
it is done within half an hour and the clutch works like warm butter!
your left hand will love it - when you are in traffic jam!

ride safe
