A Good Jet Kit
Overall, a good kit for the price. My '96 FXSTC was lacking power and struggled sometimes with the stock CV carb, so I figured I would try this to see if it helped. The install was relatively easy, and the instructions helped out a lot. The hardest part for me was fine-tuning the carb after the jets were installed, as the bike idled super high and would die randomly. Eventually, I figured out the problem was a vacuum leak, and once I fixed that, the bike ran great. Now my bike sounds healthier and has much better power and throttle response.
Bike runs fucking great??
My only complaint? spring was way too big, radius, and length, used stock spring. Bottom line? Bike runs fucking great??
Dynojet Jet Kit delivers
This kit is awesome. I've never taken a CV carb apart but the directions included made this a super simple upgrade. If your carb is older, be very careful with the brass screws, and when drilling through the air/fuel mixture.
As expected it was great!
