Common questions
What's the benefit of changing pilot jets on my V-twin?
Changing pilot jets allows you to adjust the air/fuel mixture for your V-twin's idle and off-idle circuits. This can resolve issues like poor cold starting, hesitation when you first twist the throttle, or an unstable idle, especially after modifying your exhaust or air intake.
Will these pilot jets fit my specific Harley-Davidson or Indian Motorcycle?
These are EBC VM28/486 series pilot jets. You'll need to confirm that your carburetor uses this specific series of jets. It's always best to check your motorcycle's service manual or visually confirm the jet type in your existing carburetor before purchasing.
Should I change other jets when I change my pilot jet?
Often, changes to one part of your fuel system (like exhaust or air cleaner) can affect the entire jetting. It's common to adjust both pilot and main jets, and sometimes the needle, to achieve a balanced tune across the entire RPM range. Consider a full carb re-jetting kit for comprehensive tuning.
