ok - disclaimer. I am not new to denver, or carbs, but I am new to running fcr's on the street. I searched here, and other (ahem) forums, to no avail for reference points.

my seat of the pants dyno feels sluggish from 4k wot. I just want to see what other carbies are doing at this altitude...

my settings/config:
41mm fcr's with 1.75 on air screw, 5/8ths or so fuel screw, 158 main, emt needle on 4th down. air jet 200, slow 60

bike: hi-comps, dyna's, accel wires, open airbox, 50mm dp pipes, stock header, stock ignition modules.

Mines  a 900ss, but I would think any 2v 900 would be relative.

You know, I was just up at Boulder Motorsports the other day and they mentioned they had been seeing a lot of carbed ducs lately.  Perhaps they could give some baselines?

These folks would be good to ask:
the DMF Tech Board

And this discussion seems somewhat similar to your issue. Most of the fixes mentioned here will be good places to start.

Or Arapahoes.  Baseline is a little further south.   laughingdp

Seriously, that's who I would call.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Smart-ass. You'll give us all a bad name...  cheeky

BMS is good. Faster/TK is also good. Between those two it may come down to scheduling or price for you.

 waytogo waytogo waytogo

see what I mean...  Most of us don't know what an FCR is, but we can tell you who to take it to.  laughingdp

On second thought most shops don't like to tune carbs any more either, they can't do it with a laptop  cheeky

Just general carb logic would dictate sluggish above 4K = rich mains.

 Stumbling or dead spots would indicated lean.

Sorry, not spoken from experience but it's a place to start.

forgive my breach of etiquette.  I posted here, as there are very few places that are at 5k feet here in the us, or abroad for that matter, that might actually have people that work on their own rides.... I have learned my lesson.

I will take it to a dyno once I get it close enough. oh, and fcr's really aren't about rpm, more about throttle position. They are a pumper carb.
