HARLEY DAVIDSON

CARBURETOR TUNING KIT

INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
This kit is designed for use with the Holley – Screamin’ Eagle two barrel carburetor kit (P/N 27970-00, 27973-00, 28009-00, and
28011-00). This kit contains a selection of main metering jets and transfer feed restrictions to help tune the carburetor to your
application.

KIT CONTENTS
See Service Parts Illustration and list at the end of this sheet for kit contents.

CARBURETOR REMOVAL
For removal procedure refer to your installation instruction sheet. Reverse this process with the exception of removing the air
cleaner bracket and breather manifold assembly. It is not necessary to remove these parts for carburetor removal.

CARBURETOR DISASSEMBLY
With the carburetor removed from the engine, remove cotter pin (#16) from the accelerator pump rod and remove the rod from
the accelerator pump cover lever (#9). Remove the four fuel bowl screws (#11) from the fuel bowl (#15). Remove the fuel bowl
from the metering block (#39). Dispose of the fuel from the fuel bowl into an appropriate container, taking care not to lose the
accelerator pump check needle (#49) from the accelerator pump passage. The needle is located in the interior passage of the
fuel bowl. Remove the metering block from the mainbody. The main metering jets (#’s 42 & 43) are at the end of the jet
extension tubes (#41) located in the metering block. The transfer feed restrictions (#’s 51 & 52) are located in the main body.

TUNING PROCEDURE
The Holley/Screamin’ Eagle two barrel carburetor, as shipped, is a general calibration for use on EVO and Twin Cam
applications, using the supplied air cleaner assembly and high performance exhaust system. It can be calibrated to work with
other high performance parts, such as camshafts, high flow cylinder heads, higher compression pistons, etc., using the same
procedures.

NOTE: All carburetor tuning should be performed with the engine at normal operating temperatures.

NOTE: Before performing any jetting changes, ensure that the carburetor and manifold are installed correctly and that
there are no intake leaks.

LEAN CONDITIONS-
Engines running lean will exhibit conditions, such as engine spitting back through the carburetor and hesitations upon
accelerations.
RICH CONDITIONS-
Engines running rich will exhibit sluggish acceleration, black smoke on acceleration, and decreased fuel economy.

If the engine exhibits either a lean or rich condition at idle or up to 3/8 throttle opening, adjusting the idle mixture screws (IMS)
may correct the condition without having to change transfer feed restrictions. There is an IMS for each bore on the carburetor,
located at the front and rear of the metering block. The IMS is a fuel flow adjuster for idle and part throttle load ranges. Turning
the IMS in (clockwise) leans the carburetor and turning it out (counterclockwise) enriches the carburetor.

If the idle mixture requires adjustment, start at the initial setting of one turn out and the idle speed at 1000 rpm. Then turn both
IMS ¼ turn at a time, (in for leaner adjustment, out for richer adjustment). After each adjustment reset the idle speed back to
1000 rpm and check the engine for improvements to its running operation.

The normal range for the IMS is ½ to 3 turns out. If your engine runs best at 3 turns, you may want to change to the larger (#24)
transfer feed restrictions. If your engine runs best at ½ turn out you may want to change the smaller (#21) transfer feed
restrictions. Repeat the idle set procedure after changing transfer feed restrictions.

After performing the idle set procedure described above and a hesitation off idle still exists, it may be necessary to change the
accelerator pump discharge nozzle (#35) with the one supplied in this tuning kit.

If your engine runs well at the idle and part throttle ranges stated above, but exhibits rich or lean conditions above those driving
ranges, it may be necessary to change the main metering jets (MMJ). A set of #58 and #62 MMJ were included in the original
carburetor kit. In the tuning kit #56 (leaner) and #’s 64,66,68,and 70 (richer) are included. For jets richer than #70, see an
authorized Holley dealer.
