I removed my carb and am cleaning it and rebuilding it. I'm installing a Glenn's permanent AF screw adjuster and I'm re-jetting it. Here's the thing though: I'm bone stock. Exhaust, intake, all stock (by preference). However, when I bought the bike from the prior owner, it had aftermarket stuff on it, including one of those Kuryakyn hyperchargers. Apparently, that unit came with a carb adjustment kit. The top cap on the carb is aftermarket, and strangely it was jetted at 185/65. That's not stock I don't think. I'm not sure what the stock idle jet is, but I don't think it was 65. Stock main jet should have been 195, per the parts catalogue.

I picked up a Factory Pro kit, but it only came with 210, 215, 220, 225 main jets and a single 58 pilot jet.

Here is my question: When reassembling this carb, I'd like to do so in the configuration that will give me the greatest chance of success the first try. I will have the Glenn's extender installed so will be able to adjust that "on the go", but I REALLY don't want to have to pull the tank and stuff a second time. There are enough VTX'ers out there that have blazed this path already. I'm bone stock, 2004 1300S, 9,300 miles, and I don't need any stellar performance. It's just a cruiser.

What combinations have been most successful for you?

Main jet/pilot/needle shim count/and AF screw turns?

Thanks.

I have not run the bike yet, but I did reassemble the carb with 210 main, FP needle on 3rd clip with one shim (3.5 basically), 58 pilot, and 1 3/4 A/F turns. I also installed the Glenn's extender. Hopefully this is a good combination.
