Harley had a new (clueless) parts employee and he ordered and then sold me mismatched jets and since they were in the EBC bag they came from factory in I never looked at their values. One was 38 and the other was 40. It never would have ran like that. He took them out of the bag in front of me but I wasn't paying attention so I took them home and just installed them.

The day I got it running it was finally warm outside and I was in the sun and I took the bowls off and the sun shone on the pilots and I instantly saw the problem.

That same day I went back to harley and asked did they have the other two 40 jets from the 4-pack and he said it looked like they had 3 jets in stock..... Harley doesnt use 40 jets in anything. Right when he said that I realized that dude had only sold me one 40 and another 38 because I got him to order 38s too but at a previous date.

I'm just waiting to order all of the parts at the same time so I can spend a whole day putting it together.
