Fair warning: In the process of installing a Chuckster on my '99 Carbed Nomad, I sought to replace the main jet with a 170. I discovered that the replacement jets available were smaller in diameter and thread. Granted, the one I had in it was a 165, but based upon conversations with Joe, it was best to have the 170. I ended up taking the 165, and the too small 170 he provided with the intake, (not his fault, as that was what was specified for my carb), to a machinist friend who drilled out the center hole of the 165 to match the diameter of the 170. It worked great!

If you have a local dealer, take your current main jet with you and make sure the 170 they have available is the same size and thread.

good looking out. I have also heard to use HD jet You have to use HD tube. On my 99 I bought a used breather ect from a fellow vrocer and it came with a 46 pilot & 168 main with cobras it really brought My classic to life. Also coastered & removed smog junk at the same time.
