There’s a throttle adjustment screw rigs next to the twist throttle. It’s so you can lock idle high. It’s on handle bars on bottom side

We call that a dead man throttle here in the states . It could be used as cruise control also if you got the balls to do it. Lol.

Nice one mate, could actually hear the difference once the slide was working. Were the wrong cables fouling? or wrong length? what was causing them to stick? :)

+yankee doodle Cables appeared to be different lengths - inner on throttle seemed longer. Once you'd started to take the slack out of the pull cable, the return was tight. Continuing to tighten up the pull cable so it was adjusted correctly meant that the return cable was over tensioned and so bound tight.

I have a 02 did a stage 3 jet kit. It took me a while to get the settings spot on. 190 main jet is the way to go for the high lift cams, the baffle plate has to be punched out to get 120 mph. I put on full flow mufflers..pilet jet needs to be 46 for great start up. The new thunder nossel is recommended. De bur the slide with a fine file gentle like. Also need to drill the hole slightly larger, comes with kit. After All said and done be careful it will snatch you right off the t bike. Take the throttle housing apart you will see the guide chewed up don't lose the brass end ball it will try to run wants expossed. May be cable fray.

Thanks Bill. I’m currently back at ground zero with the engine apart. Not going for head mods this time round, I will save that for the next rebuild. Just need to get the jetting right. Yes, I had to rebuild the throttle because all of the small parts were missing! Skäl. David

It’s a piece of like felt line it up with the screws from the carb that go to the air cleaner. Then put it on. Helps hold gasket in place.

Hammer performance can help you with that. I will keep mine almost stock because of the rarity of this model. Looking into a 2003 200s to build.

Indeed. If you look closely in my latest Sportster video you will see some Hammer parts on the shelf. Mine will be going back a bit more stock. But if I do go down the power route it will probably be new heads from Hammer. I’m ok with that as so far everything is reversible - even the rear mudguard support will weld back on.

Your video was very good. I have a problem. Could you help me out? While riding for over 400 kms, I suddenly lost acceleration. Engine Malfunction light came on. Then when I downshifted the gears, the motorcycle was moving OK. But acceleration became bad thereafter. The malfunction light came on & off frequently. The throttle moves smoothly. But engine shivers, as if out of air. The battery is new and working fine. The motorcycle starts in one go. What could be the problem?

@@rscsingh7848 High speed on the highway is a killer of Sportster engines - I still haven't put mine back together after exactly this. You need to stop riding and get it checked - detonation is common which will damage the piston, cylinders and heads. Bottom end damage is also a possibility if it's noisy.

Make sure to put the cables back on the right way. Easy way to tell what one is what, is the throttle does not have the spring on it , that is the one to close your throttle “ idle cable” that goes in the back of the 2 positions the main throttle goes in the front. Good luck with it and why not just buy a carb rebuild kit? I got one from All Balls racing that has every thing you need I mean everything. Even the intake seals. Just my opinion but it would save you from tearing the carb back off.

Hi, I don't appear able to message you directly. Problems with the slide cause loss of power. If you take the air cleaner off and rev the engine, does the slide move up and down? If it does then you have a different issue. If it doesn't move, can you lift it smoothly with your finger (there is a spring which pushes it down)? If it isn't smooth or is sticky then you'll need to take the slide out and clean/ check for damage. If it lifts smoothly and easily then the most common issue is damage to the rubber diaphragm at the top, so again you'll need to take the top of the carb off and check for air leaks (if the top is loose/ badly fitted or like mine the rubber hadn't been reinstalled correctly) or you often find that the rubber has perished and you need a new diaphragm. Hope this helps.
