That was a great build, watched all those video's Dave Mackie has very high end and beautifull parts and engineering. Not to many people go to that level. A well deserved result from a quality build.good job guys.
I've been using Dave Mackie Engineering's products for over thirty years. That level of quality takes a lot to produce. When I was still in business, I was able to make a lot of people real happy with this stuff. Glad you enjoyed us showing it.
Thank you for this video! Back in 94 with my Shovelhead, Delorto 40mm pumper, Sifton 440 and .020 Arias piston ,my friends called it a Evo killer. Now Mikuni VM 38 Carb, stock pistons, good enough foe me.
@@pacificmike9501 My old Harley Mech sold me a Sifton 440T in 84. Still in my Shovelhead today. It also has Sifton Valve Springs from then. The place I brought it to 3 years a go told me all still good!
Hi Mike and Jim it is great to see that the build of Jim's motor is as good as you said it was going to be you are so good at what you do and the numbers prove that,I have a standard 2015 fat boy 103 and got stage 2 touge cam with a se tuner a what a difference that made that was partly inspired by you talking about cams thank you very much keep on doing what you are doing your the best.
Great video 😁,liked the carb comments at the end. Built the top and bottom on my 52 Pan and the Linkert got 38mpg changed to a mikuni and it now gets 47mpg. Thanks for the great video😁👍
❤️ I LOVE MY 89" STROKER TOO ❤️ I make my own Stage 1 airbox out of a stock one and use stock twin cam slip on mufflers and use Twin cam jetting and I absolutely SMOKE twin cams!!

Thanks for coming back and giving us a report!
@@pacificmike9501 Thanks Mike, you couldn't give me a BRAND NEW CVO bike for ANY of my Evo's in an even exchange. I have thousands of my own manhours into ALL of my Evo's and wouldn't want ANYTHING with a computer on it. I wouldn't want a bike without throttle cables and clutch cable
Kenny what you think about the Mikuni will give the best no mater what you tune it for lol My 86 Keihin carb was great on fuel 45 all day long Im hoping to get the 45 when I stick the heads back on . It was doing in before Stock only getting 32-38 on a good day .
Pacific Mike, thanks for making a lovely video I know you couldn’t do it without your friends🤘🏻 Such a awesome open form topic, this video was refreshing as well as in-depth… It was good to see you Jim, You definitely learned a lot about the Dyno -tuning, All around topic that enriches, All of us!

thanks Mike I am working on a 1987 flhtp that i got from a friend that rode it over 120,000 miles. I am going to be using your videos as guidance thanks again.
I just went to your web site and wow ! That yellow Knuckle head bike is so sweet ! I love the short springer . I wish Harley would build a Road King with a short springer. I realize it would be a big bike with a springer and nothing like your yellow knuckle head , just love the springers.
Jim thanks for letting us see the modification mike thank you for all your good work my fraind Ron had a nucklehead that was heavily modified it was a buifule he lived in the sacromento out line are I really miss those days again thanks so much LEMAY NELSON
Good morning Mr Pacific, hope all is well in Sunny 😎 Cal. You did a heck of a job on that stroker Mike. I use a Mikuni 42 on my stage 4 2002 FLHT 95” build and a Dyno tune is always the way to go but I have found when it comes to a carb, your butt and ear doesn’t lie. I also find it truly fascinating that you can have two of the exact same set ups on the same size engine on a carb’d Harley, yet they need two different tunes, within a shake of a lambs tail. My scoot is a thirsty girl and loves fuel, I get 36mpg on the highway give or take and does better when the weather is in the mid 70’s. She runs a little fat in weather that’s over 90 and humid but here in New England, riding year round, I need to jet to cooler weather for a happy medium. We have a VP gas station here in Lowell Ma with Non ethanol 93, that’s all I feed my girl. I personally prefer a Mikuni on my builds but it took a little to get used to that slide rattle when I first used one. I also think the whole “Mikuni’s can’t take atmospheric changes well”. All I can say is that from 100 degrees down to 40 degrees, my Mik does just fine without changing a thing, maybe a minor tweak on the pilot jet. I do find if I don’t polish my choke plunger once a season, she gets a little hung up sometimes. Thanks for the update Mike and please take care of yourself.
I've always found it interesting the ways all motorcycles vary from unit to unit. My dad told me when I was a kid and it probably holds true today, that Police officers could take a car from the motor pool and it was no big deal, but he was assigned to a specific bike. This was because they all differed.
Are you referring to the enrichner when you say “choke plunger” ? If so, there is a company in the west here who makes you a custom length stainless steel much improved design that supposedly seats that enrichner in the carb much better. Been thinking about ordering one. But yeah, that Mikuni flat slide ~ particularly when you have dialed in the accelerator pump - gives incredible, instant throttle response 👍
@@MidnightExpressMC I am referring to the enricher, Mikuni just labels the plunger choke, makes it easier for conversation as most or some don’t understand the difference, obviously Mike does. Do you happen to know the name of the company? I’ll google it anyway but yeah, every one I have installed has worn through and it needs to be oiled and eventually replaced. I’ll even polish the plunger but it’s just the nature of the beast.
@@getoffmygrass6974 It’s MaxAir Engineering. He even has two UA-cam videos showing the cable as well as adjustment of same. He makes a bunch of products, mainly for the Yamaha Road Star and other Yamahas. But the retrofit to the HSR42, as applied by many of us RS owners, is what prompted him to make the special enrichner cable since the one supplied by Mikuni is not good. As he custom mkakes them to order, it should not matter on what bike the Mikuni is mounted; Harley or otherwise. As mentioned previously, I have yet to order the cable, so have no practical experience with it, per se, but I have heard, anecdotally, from Forum members who like it. ButI will order mine soon, as I am enbarking on many mods this fall. Good luck!
My dog is a big fan. Wants to see more of your dog. I am typing this for him because he scratches up my keyboard when I leave him alone. He recently woke me up when you came back to the Flat Head project. I have trained him to watch your commercials. He bit me today. Picked up his bowl and went down the road. I watched all the ads a couple of times and understand Head Wounds angst. "Come back Head Wound, Come back."
That was awesome. Great video. I had my 81 FLHS shovelhead rebuilt this past Fall and I have an S&S super E with stock jets. The cam is a new J-Grind, and the oil pump is an S&S Billet pump. My Paughco 2in1 pipes don't seem to fit quite right so I may go back to the stock. I don't know what's best for that setup but I'm hearing good old fashioned baffled mufflers will be the best performance. If you have any cool thoughts or comments I'm all ears. Anyway, just keep on recording, love that content.
@@davidcook1166 So far I love it, but I'm still studying my jets to be sure I'm set up right. Another thing I did was change my trans sprocket from 23 to 24, I think it was. Thanks Pacific Mike for that tip. I love that for sure. I'm just a little chuggy on the take off, but man once those RPM's get up there that thing really feels like a lot of power. It's a completely different bike. Good Luck!
@@staplests for sure. Almost everyone overlooks or dismisses gearing all together. They fail to realize that for most years and models the only real difference in the drive train was the gearing, in the rans and drive sprockets. You hear people say " my dyna was so much more faster than thy softail, it had way more power". Well, not really but, kinda.
I saw you at born free Mike but i was workin and it was busy. I was working the grass pass gate! Thanks for all the informative videos! I like them and have subscribed. 😊
Sounds like it's set up just right. 80 inch EVO is the best Harley motor they ever built. Stock FatBoy has about 50 hp. Now the BigBoy has 90 hp. If you really have the need to go faster. Get a Japanese bike. And ..Oh ya nice work Mike. And and. Nothing run's like a well oiled machine.. ⚡️
@@pacificmike9501 have any thoughts 💭 recommended cam profiles . 1990 softail stock 13,000 mile, thunderheader exhaust, S&s E carb ( might change to Mikuni) I have one new . Any thoughts appreciate Mike I don’t have money to do higher compression now . So only a cam change .
90 rear wheel horsepower is a real handful. That was at 5000 RPM. What would the reading be at 6000 RPM? This is a very well mannered hot rod. A real pleasure to ride. We just wanted to be kind to her.
@@pacificmike9501 Right on Mike , be kind to her , wouldn't Red Line a Rolls-Royce from light to light, (well maybe). I rarely beat on my motor screwing around , But when I do , it's the better than sex ! Not really, but the next best thing . Just cuz ya got 90 hp ,don't mean ya gotta use it.
Congratulations such a great update on this build so very impressive. My question is what was the air fuel ratio reading on the paperwork thank you once again for a great job
Hi Mike I'm thrilled to see your work on the tube: more in-depth congratulations, Sir. I have a 93 entire stock Evo, and I broke the centre of the pressure plate where the retaining ring(coil) holds the release plate using the proper tools. The tool and release plate are still held on by 1/3 the area of the plate and coil under pressure; any advice on how to proceed?
I'd have to be standing there. You'll need to remove the adjusting screw. Proceed slow and carefully. Loosen bolts a very little at a time. Then go to the next bolt. If you feel you're in over your head, you may need to take it to a pro.
@@pacificmike9501 Thanks, Mike I e-mailed you. Picture too! Worth 1000 words. I hope. I'm pretty glad you have a website now. Thanks again, and best of luck in all your endeavours. The oval shirt didn't have my size.
The top lines are torque not horsepower. At 1500 r.p.m. you had about 18 horsepower. As you follow the bottom lines up they cross at 5252 r.p.m. with the torque readings above. Peak torque seemed to be 90 at 4000 r.p.m.
The newer engines have more complete combustion and they really don't read the same. It's also because fuel is so different. They just don't tell ya like they used too. It is recommended by the manufacturers that you read a plug on the flat part of the insulator up inside where they come together with the electrode. Kind of a pain.
Hey Mike.... I'm having trouble getting into your web page... I'm getting a "bad response" from your web page and something about not being "secure"... please advise... : )
One word all lower case. Go to search bar. pacificmike.com Or, go to UA-cam and type in Pacific Mike. When the UA-cam Homepage comes up, you can click on it from there.
Mike what do you think is the best Andrew's cam for a 98 Evo flhtc I'm a big guy and often ride 2 up . Time for inner cam bearing and tappit service. Bike is bone stock now doesn't huff or leak a drop with 70k on the clock.
I don't spec cams for people. All I can say is, "Look up all the brands you can think of and look at the power bands they advertise." Pick the one that does what you want it to do.
I don't advertise for people, but I personally always use Dave Mackie Engineering. They are in Ventura California. Dave has set over sixty national speed records. They have a very complete website. Just type in Dave Mackie Engineering.
Off topic question. Is there a trick to removing and reinstalling the throttle cables at the carb, that doesn't make me question why I ever bought a motorcycle?
It would certainly use it. I run a six speed in my Shovelhead. Not exactly your grandfather's Shovelhead, lots of torque. Jim's Evo makes lots of torque. He does run a small rear pulley (65 teeth as opposed to 70).
Matt, Close. What worked for us on this setup was.... 162.5 Main, STD is 160 27.5 Pilot, STD is 25 96 Needle, 97 is STD. Set clip on needle at pos 2 (lean) recommend pos 3 which is STD as base line. Hope that helps.
@@MrBadgas Good to know! Thank you for the specifics. I have a very similar build and am wrapping it up. I put in a 165 main, 27.5 pilot, and 97 jet needle and will see how it runs with those then change them out as necessary. Mikuni’s tuning guide is excellent.
@@pacificmike9501 i was able to figure out my ordeal by last night with the help watching some of your videos. Appreciate your willingness to help and all you do brother!

@@pacificmike9501 have any thoughts 💭 recommended cam profiles . 1990 softail stock 13,000 mile, thunderheader exhaust, S&s E carb ( might change to Mikuni) I have one new . Any thoughts appreciate Mike
I don’t have money to do higher compression now . So only a cam change .
Great job , I bet it feels like more than 90 hp on the road 👍
90 rear wheel horsepower is a real handful. That was at 5000 RPM. What would the reading be at 6000 RPM? This is a very well mannered hot rod. A real pleasure to ride. We just wanted to be kind to her.
@@pacificmike9501 Right on Mike , be kind to her , wouldn't Red Line a Rolls-Royce from light to light, (well maybe). I rarely beat on my motor screwing around , But when I do , it's the better than sex ! Not really, but the next best thing . Just cuz ya got 90 hp ,don't mean ya gotta use it.
We are having fun.
It feels like all I want, when I want it. The only down size is...... Now I need shirts with longer sleeves.
HOWdy Mike,
EVO "stroker" DYNO Results
COOP
...
Thank You.
Congratulations such a great update on this build so very impressive.
My question is what was the air fuel ratio reading on the paperwork thank you once again for a great job
Thank You. I'll have to ask Jim. We all go for the same magical number.
AFR averaged 13.3 across eight measurements. One each at 500 rpm increments from 1500 to 5000 RPM.
What a story
Thank You.
Isn't it. This guy's right on.
What a long strange trip its been.....More fun than a Barrel of Monkeys.
Thank you
You're welcome
Can you please clarify? Aren’t the top relatively flat lines in the chart torque rather than horsepower?
Thanks.
Yes, the top lines are torque, below that is HP and waaay below that is AFR. Hard to read those.
And, There it is.
Cool video ! Very informative
Glad you liked it!
USING WOODS CAMS Mike, BIG TORQUERS
Yes.
Hi Mike
I'm thrilled to see your work on the tube: more in-depth congratulations, Sir.
I have a 93 entire stock Evo, and I broke the centre of the pressure plate where the retaining ring(coil) holds the release plate using the proper tools. The tool and release plate are still held on by 1/3 the area of the plate and coil under pressure; any advice on how to proceed?
I'd have to be standing there. You'll need to remove the adjusting screw. Proceed slow and carefully. Loosen bolts a very little at a time. Then go to the next bolt. If you feel you're in over your head, you may need to take it to a pro.
@@pacificmike9501 Thanks, Mike
I e-mailed you. Picture too! Worth 1000 words. I hope. I'm pretty glad you have a website now.
Thanks again, and best of luck in all your endeavours. The oval shirt didn't have my size.
The top lines are torque not horsepower. At 1500 r.p.m. you had about 18 horsepower. As you follow the bottom lines up they cross at 5252 r.p.m. with the torque readings above. Peak torque seemed to be 90 at 4000 r.p.m.
Thank You.
Please take a look at the table of numbers on the Dyno chart and you will see the TQ & HP #s listed at RPM. The upper lines are TQ, the lower are HP.
I've did jets by spark plug color since my teens.
The newer engines have more complete combustion and they really don't read the same. It's also because fuel is so different. They just don't tell ya like they used too. It is recommended by the manufacturers that you read a plug on the flat part of the insulator up inside where they come together with the electrode. Kind of a pain.
I want that set up for my 97 springer
Look up "Dave Mackie Engineering." Just Google it.
Mike when you going to something on the big inch Flat Head ?
We're doing it. This just came up cause Jim and John came to visit. Couldn't skip the opportunity.
Hey Mike.... I'm having trouble getting into your web page... I'm getting a "bad response" from your web page and something about not being "secure"... please advise... : )
One word all lower case. Go to search bar. pacificmike.com
Or, go to UA-cam and type in Pacific Mike. When the UA-cam Homepage comes up, you can click on it from there.
On the Homepage, there is a grey block that says, "Pacific Mike Website." Click on it. It should take you straight there.
I meant to ask before. Are you planning to attend Sturgis this year?
No. I don't think so.
👍
Thank You.
Mike what do you think is the best Andrew's cam for a 98 Evo flhtc I'm a big guy and often ride 2 up . Time for inner cam bearing and tappit service. Bike is bone stock now doesn't huff or leak a drop with 70k on the clock.
I don't spec cams for people. All I can say is, "Look up all the brands you can think of and look at the power bands they advertise." Pick the one that does what you want it to do.
Hello Mike. Can You recommend places from States that do porting and valvejob to evos. Thanks
I don't advertise for people, but I personally always use Dave Mackie Engineering. They are in Ventura California. Dave has set over sixty national speed records. They have a very complete website. Just type in Dave Mackie Engineering.
Hey Mike do you know what spark plugs that increases fuel economy that you Mentioned
I don't recall a claim like that. I don't remember whether Jim runs Champions or Autolite.
Off topic question. Is there a trick to removing and reinstalling the throttle cables at the carb, that doesn't make me question why I ever bought a motorcycle?
Loosen the lock nut and turn the cable adjuster to create slack. Then you can disconnect the cables from the carb.
And there it is.
i watched this twice so what did i miss? what did jim do to get better fuel mileage?
I want to know too. Jetting, or all done with the ignition curve?
It was all done with the ignition curve. The guy really knew what he was doing. A very measured technical approach.
You guys are all great. Perfect, Mr. Badgas.
That bike is probably a 5 speed. I wonder if it would benefit from a 6 speed on the hwy.
It would certainly use it. I run a six speed in my Shovelhead. Not exactly your grandfather's Shovelhead, lots of torque. Jim's Evo makes lots of torque. He does run a small rear pulley (65 teeth as opposed to 70).
Where you at bro???
SoCal.
@@pacificmike9501 lol
It was mentioned that the jets were all increased one size up. Would that be a 27.5 pilot jet, 170 main jet, 96 jet needle?
I don't know that either of us remembers (should probably write it down), but each motor will differ, as will altitude, temperature, air density...
Matt,
Close. What worked for us on this setup was....
162.5 Main, STD is 160
27.5 Pilot, STD is 25
96 Needle, 97 is STD.
Set clip on needle at pos 2 (lean) recommend pos 3 which is STD as base line.
Hope that helps.
@@MrBadgas Good to know! Thank you for the specifics. I have a very similar build and am wrapping it up. I put in a 165 main, 27.5 pilot, and 97 jet needle and will see how it runs with those then change them out as necessary. Mikuni’s tuning guide is excellent.
@@matkinson64 I agree, the guide is excellent. Have fun with it.
Mike is there a way I can speak to you about my own 89” stroker I’m at a crossroads with?
Describe the situation here. I'll do my best to answer.
@@pacificmike9501 i was able to figure out my ordeal by last night with the help watching some of your videos. Appreciate your willingness to help and all you do brother!
👍🖖
Thank You.
Do what does it cost for this power
Look up "Dave Mackie Engineering" website.
Oh Lemay nelson sorry my coment
We're all here for a good time. You're a part of it.
I love your videos Mike but after about the 10th commercial break I started to lose interest
Sorry, not a lot of control there, but the commercials is what pays for this stuff.
@@pacificmike9501
I know. It just seemed like there were a lot more ads than usual. Still love ya brother!
