Scooter Tramp Scotty. Tuning The CV Carb.

Made my first PayPal donation to you today. I enjoy your videos a lot even though I ride a competing bike. I especially enjoy your videos from Mexico. Ride safe.

Scotty you’re pretty much spot on. I’ve tuned CV40’s for years. 48 pilot and a 185 main with the 1988 needle is usually the go to for a 80 cu inch. 3 turns out on the air screw will get ya close. Always replace the junk plastic inlet.

great tip on the gas leaking out the out the over flow saved me thanx Scotty

I have two fuel injection bikes 2005 and 2020 but i really enjoyed this video because it was relaxing to listen and watch a little going down the road in my big rig with a load of motor oil from NorCal heading to Fontana I love the old videos in between your new ones 👍

Thanks I'm going to try this. Mine seems to be too rich but I found the float was off so fixed that. It just doesn't idle for crap now.

Awesome vid thank you kindly

Come on let's help old Scotty out with a little donation any amount 5,10,20,50, whatever let's show this man some love for the work he does. I will and did.

Thanks for bringing this one back! This is the video that kicked it off for me. I stumbled upon this about three or four years ago when I was having CV tuning problems and have been watching your videos and following your journey ever since! Ride on Man! Be Safe!

My 95 Road King idle was rough installed 185 main 48.. I can't believe it! S.O.B. idles and runs like a dream. Thanks STS. .... Jet 😎👍👍

Excellent ! Subbed ! 👍🇺🇸

“To keep you from messing with it” , hahaha 👍Great video, clear, concise, informative 👍👍👍👍

Great video Scotty! First time I’ve had someone explain the basics of exactly how a carburetor works. I’ve worked on a lot of carburetors and changed lots of jets. I never really had full understanding exactly how all the parts interacted with each other until now. Thanks for passing on your knowledge!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I really appreciate you bringing this one back

This helps a lot. Thanks Scotty.

Fantastic video. Very helpful. Thank you.

This is a good video. I have a CV Performance Velocity needle in my carb. It's about the same price as the 88 Sportster needle, but it is machined to not need a shim. I run a 46 pilot and a 185 main with a CV Performance slide spring, which is a little quicker opening. This is on my 06 XL 1200. The 04-06 Sportsters came with Buel XB style heads and the W camshafts, so they are a little thirstier than the engines in the solid mount bikes from 03 and earlier. It wil haul ass but will still get 48 to 52 MPG, depending on if I am on the Interstate or a 55 to 60 mph road. I got rid of the sucky vacuum petcock and put a Pingle style petcock and a washable Russel stainless steel fuel filter, and have had very good service. These CV's are sort of picky about float levels, so do what Harley says do when setting the float level and you will be a happy camper. Piss on EFI !!

Great info Scotty thanks

Great tips, and nice video again!

Great video, very useful info. Thanks

Love this video Scotty!
