procedure that can easily be performed with basic tools. The mixture
screw or EZ-Just is the key to propertuning. These tuning steps apply to
all Harley CVcarbsfrom 1989 to present that use the CV 40mm style Harley
Davidson carburetor but also apply to the CVK40 found on other models.
Always start with a fresh set of spark plugs when tuning.
The carburetor will need to be removed from the manifold so referto

to remove the bowl and this will also prevent debris from entering the
carburetor or from accidentily disturbing the float setting.
