Good thinkin' Weas, I will do that... Your a good man to have around,  and yeah I do get some poppin when I let off the gas.. They are Bub Brand, 2 into 1 pipes. Make good power.

It don't cough on take off, is just a little sluggish at times when accelerating. Ok, now the only time the bike seems to cough a bit is at slower speeds 20 to 45 mph or so. The bike does have new plug wires and screamin eagle sparkys.. Empty thinks it may need bigger jets- which it may because the exhaust was changeed last summer to a 2 into 1 system, might have made the carb a little too lean..

Naw she's good there... Idles great, no miss's- just that annoying cough when running 20 to 40 mph.

LOL. Good advice.. I'll ck the intake gaskets too for leaks as well... Thanks Weas!

Its not running bad just a tad slugish on acceleration and an occassional cough or 2... No big deal, but you know how we are, we want em perfect..LOL!

| My CV carb must have a cold...LOL! That sucker was coughing a bit yesturday like the old Keihn from yrs ago... A bud of mine told me to put in a different metering rod out of 1200 Sportster and it makes the CV much better... The CV I had on my EG was a great carb, no sputtering ever... Appreciate you guys feedback on this... Could it be I need a different jet maybe ? Starts good - don't miss out, just a bit sluggish on accelleration and the occassional cough....
