@@kruesioriginals I just installed the accelerator pump nozzel. In the instructions from CV Performance you aim the squirter at the notch at the back of the float bowl which I did.

Bring bike upto temp. Set idle speed then turn the air fuel screw in until it stumbles then back out until its running good and add like an 8th of a turn should be good to go. These carbs are really simple.

I've watched hours of video explaining CV carbs and I'm pissed that i understood you more in 32 minutes than i have have with all the other videos out there. 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Can you do another video on tuning the carb? Got the gist just curious if you have more pointers, my bike starts choking at long duration/sustained rpm.
I love your videos, always learn somwthing new! I do have a question... on your fuel mixtire screw, why use red locktite (permanent) instead of the blue? Keep the videos coming!!!
Thanks!! Great video.i have a question about the high flow fuel inlet.how much bigger is it do you know?.I bought one, haven't put it on yet but id like specs if you got them and what else should I do to compliment the high flow inlet... anything??.... thanks in advance
I don’t really know what you’re talking about. There is no high flow inlet except for where the fuel line hooks up to the carburetor. That will not make any difference on how the bike runs, though no matter what you’re gonna have to tune the carburetor if you put this kit in.
stock 1/4" High Volume 5/16 this video, especially the 3 monkeys removing the fuel inlet valve, is quite comical... red loctite in a carb? don't use carb cleaner to clean a carb? use brake clean? maybe use a Tap to cut threads NOT a set screw...read another magazine.LMFAO
03 Sportster 1200 custom. I got the "imultion" tube to squirt when o jad the float bowl off but it won't do it when i put it back on. Chanfed the spring and fuel diaphragm and little o ring on there. Any idea? Whole project was to up the low jet from the 42 in it to a 45 to get rid if the CV carn spit/cough off idle and air fuel screw with an adjustable. Im mechanical and this seemed simpe but she wont squirt. Knew that was a myth. Lol. Seriously though. Hope you see this. Was following this video step by step to do the parts i wanted to. Bike ran like a champ untl i touched it. Wont start. Has fuel.
At the beginning this is sort of like an ASMR carb rebuild video. Might be on to something 🤣 I'd like to see a tuning video happen also. I know you talked about it a bit but on a bike
I run a SE Big Bore CV 44mm on my Suzuki Samurai, it’s been a reliable carb for 10 years. I’m interested to find out what the benefit on drilling a new air hole lower down, closer to the fuel bowl and plugging the top one?
I should do this to my stock sportster carb, not for stunting just better riding. I got a big trip next month plan which involves some elevation, gotta figure out what jet sizes to take on the road but just in general having something modded for performing optimal as it is I’m all for! Dig that eagle 🦅 hand tattoo.
Have not had any luck finding info about ignition mods??? Other than oil pan an the CV Carb mod what else is necessary to the engine of the older bikes?
I have the CV Performance kit with the TBR moto 90 degree intake and RB Racing BlackHole 2:1 exhaust on my 88" FXD. It has instant response and pulls throughout the whole powerband.
Glad someone still plays with those CV carbs. Simple, easy to rebuild and set up. Mostly trouble free and reliable. I always manage to break those cheap ass fuel inlets. Always plan to chuck em anyway. Who's kit do you use? I didn't know about the vent tube switcheroo. Thanks! 🇺🇸⚔️🍕🍺👍👍
Keep in mind that before the mod, the float bowl vented into the air cleaner, and after the mod it vents directly to atmosphere. Since the pressure in the air cleaner is less than atmospheric, the bike will run a bit richer on all circuits as a result of the mod (because there is now a little extra "push", provided by the atmospheric pressure, to get the fuel from the float bowl and through the jets, in addition to the big "pull" of the vacuum in the venturi and the intake manifold).
I recently pulled apart my stock cv carb from my 98 dyna wide glide 80 cubic inch I removed the accelerator jet and was told it should have a needle or ball and spring under it it was also pressed in like the one you removed so I ordered a replacement similar to the one you just installed but the one I ordered came with a ball and spring my question is should the stock on have had anything under it or is it necessary to have a needle or ball and spring under it will it function normally with or without out I can not Find much information online about this trying to figure it out before I install it back on the bike
Hey man pro tip if you have the time of course. If it’s anything brass or metal like the accelerator tube put it in the freezer for 24 hours and a little dielectric grease she slides in like a morning f…
Can I ask you a question from your experience… I have a 2000 1200s (bigger stock cams than the other XL and has dual plugs ) the stock main jet is 195 and I believe the stock is 42 (from what I’ve read online?) but I have added a louvered air box with performance filter and a two for one exhaust twin power performance coil pack and some other light mods. I’m thinking the main is fine at 195 but I’m feeling like I should bump the idle to 45 or 48 since she’s running rich with a 42 or if you think 42 is the go to spot still. I’m about to do this exact kit. Lmk what’s worked best for you! Great video man 🤙🏼
That’s not how tuning works, you either have to put it on a Dyno or ride it and test it and move the Jets around till you get the best result for the altitude air density and set up you have
@@kruesioriginals right on, brother. Thank you again for this video! Waiting on all the cv performance parts you suggested. Keep up the great content 🤙🏼
@KRUESI ORIGINALS So ideally, we want the accelerator nozzle spray to literally hit the needle dead on to cause that gas stream to turn to a spray or mist yes? That’s the goal?
Hey Trent, how much you guys charge to do one of those set ups, I’m in Denver so I would ship you just my carb! You guys are the shit, keep up the great work!!
Nice video. Ryan here's a feature on the 2001 Buell M2 CYCLONE EVO SPORTSTER MOTOR . That Eric Buell put on those bikes . what it is is a external idle adjustment feature..it should fit on any 40 mm cv carb. If I'm correct!! And I have been wrong at times so check it out. This little gizmo screws into the back of the carb .it features approximately a 10" cable mounted knob that after routing sticks out past the frame and gas tank.. making quick and easy idle changes effortless on the fly. I love mine. Also you can use it on cold starts to help your bike warm up faster, using less time on choke mode!! .I THINK EVERY CV EQUIPPED HARLEY THAT CAN USE IT SHOULD HAVE IT INSTALLED??? IM FUCKING VERY SERIOUS ON THAT POINT!!! LOOK UP THE BUELL CV CARB. I'm not sure how many were installed but ifin you can do it..DO IT.. NOW IF I COULD FIND A FUEL ADJUSTMENT SCREW JUST LIKE IT, IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITY OF JUST REACHING DOWN AND TWISTING . INSTEAD OF LAYING ON YOUR BACK TO FIND THE Fuel SCREW.OR RIPPING THE CARB OFF TOO FIND IT.OR BURNING YOUR HAND ON HOT MOTOR.
I wouldn't advise using a Phillips screwdriver. The stock screws are not made for a Phillips head, and the heads will strip easily.if a Phillips head is used. They need a JIS head screwdriver. JIS looks similar to a Phillips but fits those screws so it won't easily strip the head.
@@kruesioriginals You're probably better at it than most, but lots of people have stripped those screw heads. Those screws are notorious for heads stripping out. A lot of people buy Allen head screws just to avoid it.
i mean he aint wrong with 99% of the shit he says. Just disagree with that carb cleaner but thats one of those things im just gonna have to learn the hard lesson myself.
The difference in carb clean and brake cleaner is brake clean has methanol to help it evaporate faster but it can damage rubber seals, so he has it backwards, brake clean is more aggressive due to the addition of methanol.
By far the best breakdown on rebuilding the CV.
this was an awesome run through!! I love how effortlessly you did this rebuild. I'd like to see you do a video on how to tune a carb.
I might do that when I put my FXDX back together I’m gonna have to tune it going to be a while though I’m on the hurt list
@@kruesioriginalsPlease do this! Would be greatly appreciated, can’t seem to find any tuning videos with the full CVP mod installed.

Definitely best video I’ve came across. Thanks for this. What’s the gauge though you’re using to measure the float bowl?
