I have seen some problems with the following scenario that happened
to me.
After installing a set of Bub Jughuggers my bike ran fine without rejetting.( I still had the stock airbox on). Then I purchased the Ultra Flow
airbox and a Dynajet kit along with a set of block-off plates to de-pair
the bike with.
After installing all of the above items, I used the 195 main jet, Dynajet
needle and spring with the "e" clip on the 3rd notch. Bike ran great but when 1st giving throttle there was a blip or stumbling point as I went from an idle to take off. After getting up some RPM's all was well in the rest of the gears.
So last night, I tore bike down and installed the SCain A/F screw I purchased from him last fall. I followed his instructions for installation of his screw and set it at 2 & 1/2 turns out. I also moved the "e" clip to the 4th groove and re-assembled the carb and bike.
Fired bike up and it's never ran better. :twisted: :twisted:
I guess the point I'm trying to make is two-fold.
First, just moving "e" clip from 3rd to the 4th notch made a world of difference.
Second, the SCain fuel screw is an awesome way to be precise in
getting the right amont of turns on the A/F screw. That D-tool that came
with the Dynajet kit is worse than horrible! I never was really sure if the tool was actually turning the screw or not. :? Also, from now on, I can adjust the A/F mixture with out disassembling the bike.
I dont know if SCain is still making the screws or not, but I would have to say that his screw is one of the best add-ons I've purchased.

Agreed! ........ Rod

I agree 100%.
I have the exact setup on the carb and It runs sweet and the Cain mix needle is a great improvement over the stock screw.

I'm looking at the same setup w/ Bubs & Ultra Flow and need to clarify. Should I use a Stage 1 or Stage 3 jet kit?? What's the difference??

Go with either one...what ever you can get quicker or cheaper. The only difference between the two is:

Stage I has jet sizes from 185 to 200.
Stage III from 190 to 210.

Everything else is the same. We're having good performance with the 195, 4th notch . I know another member who is also using that setup and is happy. I don't think I'm getting "tons more" HP, but overall it runs really well.

I put on the same airbox last year, setup the same as you did first. It ran great last year other than I lost some fuel mileage. But this year I am starting to have a few problems, some little hesitations and some spit-backs through the carb. I was thinking of going back to the stock jet, but may try changing the clip first. Now a stupid question. The third spot is easy, it's in the middle. Which is the forth? Closer to the carb or away?

Count down from the top. Clip #1 is the first notch on the needle, away from the carb. If you go to the 4th notch you have to grind/dremel the top of the needle in order to get the plastic twist lock thing (don't know what that's called) to lock in place.

Hows this for a bone headed mistake..... When I pulled the (vacumn cover) off the top
of the carb and changed my e-clip from the 3rd to the 4th notch, I put it
all back together and drove around for about two weeks. As I decided to straighten up in the roll around tool chest I came across something that
looked really familiar to me!! :shock: :shock: :shock: It was the plastic piece and spring that you put over the needle and turn to lock it down!!
Now I dont know if you'll believe this or not but my bike never missed a beat with it out! I swear this is a true story. So.. after crapping my pants I tore it down and put it back where it belongs. It went on kinda hard cause I didnt grind the top of the needle off. I think I'll tear it back down again and grind some off the top of the needle. :roll: Oh yeah..and I'll try to
remember to put it all back in the carb this time.

I've got the same airbox but with V&H Bigshots, running 4th clip and 210 Main., 2.5 turns.
Bike seems to be running great !. Pulled the plugs after about 2 weeks. Burning very clean. Will get it dyno'd to learn the whole story, but what a difference the set up is over stock. Good lord !!!! it sa whole different beast !

Also, actually helped my mileage. I was expecting a turn for the worse, all this fun has to come with a price right?, but I went from 43mpg to 48 mpg. I know this seems hard to beleive, but true nonetheless.

LOL! Don't you hate it when you have parts left over. I've been there...not with the needle, but with other things.
