Hi
Anyone know the base adjustment for the mix screw ?
Is it like most others all the way in and 1,5-2 turn out?

Any good tip to jetting? W&h exhaust and open air filter/ kn.
190 and 45?

PS. I live in Norway and the weather is cold😜

Those look good for "base" starting points.

Buellistic is mentioning his final settings, I bet.

OLD SCHOOL: "BASE" starting points !!!

#1. The timing must be correct for what you want your engine to do, ie: gas mileage or balls to the wall ...

#2. Your spark plugs must be clean, gaped, and torque'ed correctly ...


#3. It is better to start off rich than "LEAN" !!!

More Great Advice from Buellistic!! thanks
thought i could mention i discovered using Bobby Wood stepped needles helps gas mileage a lot as stepped not tapered the needle for a CV40 would be the K1 needle but not sure if he still stocks them?
thats woods carb com do a search could ask the man if could recommend jetting for that needle
I like Dyna tech adjustable ignition module as you can set advance curve & rev limit i think Buell advance curves too aggressive so i slowed mine n goes great
