    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am cleaning out the carbs on the project bike and noticed that it has 120 mains in it. It is running a V&H 4 into 1 and a UNI filter that replaces the airbox (not individual pods, just one big filter). 120's seemed kinda small to me. Any help is appreciated as always. 8)

TIA, Tim
 
Copied this for you.
Didn't know exactly which jet you needed. Hope it helps :wink:

When I rebuilt my carbs it had #45 pilot jets and either 114 or 115 mains. the rebuild kit I recall had 115 mains. Right now I'm running 118 dyno mains and it runs very well although I haven't yet looked at the plugs. Bear in mind that the number ing for mikuni and dyno jets are different.

not to be offensive, but, the specs given were for an 82 (EZ) 1100, the 83(ED) has larger mains ,112.5, otherwise the same

I have a similar set up on my 82 1100E, with a Kerker 4-1 (the canister system, not the much nicer megaphone system), a single K&N filter and no rear airbox. I live at 3400ft and the bike has 132 mains. I do not know the details, as I bought it this way and the previous owner had the work done when he bought it from a shop. I find just a hint of lean surge during light throttle cruising (highway/freeway speeds) and the dyno chart I got from the shop looks like it is a touch lean at peak power, too. This winter the carbs will be cleaned thoroughly and I will know what I have when it's done.
