Long Boy Fuel Screw
$23.95
pn: CRZ-SCR-4010-K
with new spring, washer and o-ring
"Long Boy" Single carb VT600c / VTX1300 hand adjustable Fuel Screw
assembly
Frustrated with trying to find an "almost 90 degree" screwdriver
with a "D" socket to fine adjust your fuel screws for best idle and cruise?
Use Factory Pro's new "finger adjustable" fuel screw to adjust
idle and cruise fuel mixture for best throttle response. Traveling to high altitude? It's
easy to lean out the lowend temporarily.
Make your life easier.
Installation:
Remove old short stock fuel screw, old o-ring, old washer and old
spring. The o-ring might be stuck in the carb, so, take a light and make
sure it's really out if it didn't come out with the screw (or you can't
find it after you took out the screw)
Use a small bent wire to pull it out if it doesn't drop out. Keep the
old parts for "spares".
1 VTX 1300 screw assembly comes with:
1 Long Boy fuel screw CRZ-SCR-4010-K
1 new o-ring
1 new washer
1 new spring
Dream come true! SMOOTHER shifting.

Factory Pro's famous VTX
Evo Shift STAR kit
Myth:
Big, strong cruisers have big transmission
gears and they generally shift "lazily" and clunkily, unless you
use "exactly the "right" rpm and throttle.
Reality:
If you ever make a quick shift and
feel and hear the gears grind / ratchet before maybe engaging -
that is what causes shift fork and gear damage - especially in
2nd gear.
The EVO Shift STAR kit -
It's everything that I ever wanted to
do to a shift mechanism - A new FP MicroBearing detent arm and the final piece... A
completely redesigned, empirically refined, multi angled,
variable radii, repeaked and valleyed FP Shift STAR. This kit will totally change the feel of the bike as a whole.
The shifting effort is about the same - but the speed at which
the gears actually engage is dramatically improved - Quicker,
easier, shifting - A "twitch" on the lever and the throttle and
you are in the next gear. Perfect for track use and road riding
for effortless downshifts into a corner and just a "tap" to upshift without any more than a "twitch" off the throttle -
Missed shifts virtually
disappear.
In town? Low rpm cruise in second -
shift to third? Quicker and smoother - NO more clunky, lazy shifting in town -
it's different and improved. Proven concept - Virtually all the Factory Pro Support riders in
the AMA and WERA multi- Champions Vesrah Racing tested and
proved the EVO-7 Stars.
Kit includes a new
detent arm with a low friction microbearing roller and the NEW
Factory Pro EVO Detent Star.
It's a "relatively inexpensive" kit that will
smooth out shifting over stock and help prevent shift fork
damaging missed shifts.
NOTE!
We do not yet have detailed instructions - and need a bike to take pics of and write up an Install Page.
If you are local to San Francisco and can spare a day, we will
install the kit for 25% discount on labor.

I recently purchased your jet kit & Longboy screw for my 07 vtx
1300, after trying to get my setup right with the Barrons BAK jet
kit for 6 weeks, with no luck. I put Factory Pro jets and needle in,
and Jackpot. my first setup seemed to hit the nail right on the
head. I will never fight with another companies jet kit again. From
now on its only Factory Pro.
Final setting for 2007 Honda VTX 1300 - 215 Main jet - 58
Pilot jet - clip on 4th notch of needle - A/F screw 1 3/4- 1 7/8
turns out -100 % humidity - Average temp 95 degrees - 100 ft
above sea level
Thanks for a great product Factory Pro.

The internet's #1
Stage 3 choice.
carb kit for the 03-09 VTX1300s
/ c / r t. This is the
kit that is used to replace dynojet designed kits Works great with Hypercharger / Hypercharger
Pro,
S&S, Thunder,
Baron's BAK and similar air box mod kits -
Maxair already supplies a
special version of this kit bundled with their products.
This is the kit that
generally adds more low-end / midrange than stock or dynojet,
if the proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. Easy to install
and tune -no slide drilling. Includes pilot, needle and main jet selection for perfect tuning - and
the best tech support in the industry - 800 869-0497
Tech notes: Some VTX 1300's came with what
we call a "2.9bt" clip area configuration and some didn't.
The difference is that the clip area of the needle might be 2.9mm and
the hole in the slide that the needle goes into may only be 2.8mm. The
immediate solution. if you have that mismatch, is to use a small drill
bit to enlarge the slide hole.
Tuning: Proper tuning involves
trying a couple different main jets, till you find the set that pulls
the hardest at "high" rpm and upper midrange. It's rarely under 210 with
our needle. Then, raise or lower the needle till you get the best full throttle
midrange. If you've done that, then, 99% of the time, you'll have very good cruise
and throttle response.
The low speed mixture: Adjust the idle speed for lowest possible
idle. Then, adj the fuel screw for the best/highest idle. Then readjust the idle for lowest possible idle, again. Then readjust the fuel screw for best/highest possible idle. Now, you have the fuel screw exactly where it wants to be for most
efficient idle. Then, finally, raise the idle speed adjuster back up to where you want it to idle.
If necessary, trim the fuel screw for cleanest cruise.
(that will slightly un-optimize the idle, but optimize the cruise
smoothness and mileage)
Note
on pilot jet size: If the
fuel screw ends up at 1
turn or less, the pilot jet is probably too large. If you are more
than 3.5x out, then the pilot is probably a size too small.
Notes: The dynojet / thunder / cobra
needle is excessively rich in the low rpm area, so it's not reported
to work well. The Factory Pro needle is improved over the other needles,
including stock. The dynojet / cobra / thunder needle is what people
complain about when they say "aftermarket" needles are "finicky" (not
ours). Shimming a stock needle might still leave some low rpm flat
spots. If you have "the flat spots" after shimming the stock needle,
you need the Factory Pro kit -
Installation Notes: "Needle Post" When you take the white, plastic "needle retainer" out of the top of the slide, turn
it over and you'll see a small spring, about the same size as a
retractable ball point pen spring, wound onto a plastic post. You will need to cut the "post" down to 1/2 height to give enough room
for the longer Factory pro needle.
HANDY Tech tip! If you lose your stock "needle retainer" spring, sometimes you can
use a ball point pen spring as a replacement. Use your judgment......

MaxAIr airbox and MaxAir/Factory Pro jet kit Holy Shite!
Sweet! Scooter running
SO much nicer! Took bike to shop this morning for 27,000 mile
service, MaxAir box
installation, and rejet with your kit I bought (VTX1300). Absolutely
night and day difference.
Thank you so much for
what you've done!
Gorgeous. Chris Blake
.......................................
I just wanted to drop you all a note and say this jet kit is
awesome. After losing almost a whole riding season because I
couldn't get the Dynojet kit to work right I wish I would have found
your website earlier!! No matter how hard I tried I could not get
the pilot jet set right and always had 1/4 throttle problems.
You all really need to be sure your products get the visibility they
deserve because the difference is indeed day and night.
Sincerely, Eric Kretler

to where you actually want it). The tricky part: If you end up at 1
turn, or less, the pilot jet is probably too large. If you are more
than 3.5x out, then the pilot is probably a size too small.

Installation Notes: "Needle Post" When you take the "needle retainer" out of the top of the slide, turn

for the longer Factory pro needle.

We had a
terrible time trying to tune my 2009 VTX1300 using a set of Dynojet
components after adding slip on Cobra pipes (slash cuts), and a K&N
filter element. After a little Internet research, we ordered and
swapped out the Dynojet kit initially installed and swapped in your
stage-1 Factory Pro Jet Kit. Our first try - as your instructions
recommended: set the needle with clip fourth from the top, installed
the 215 main jet & 58 pilot jet, used the stock springs, clipped the
plastic spring/needle holder as described (1/2 clipped off), set the
fuel/air to 1.5 turns, and PERFECTION! There was no rich or lean
backfiring, no dead spots at any throttle/gear settings, and there
is an unmistakable power boost - especially on the high side. The
bike is now very happy with easy start ups on cold mornings and
smooth, powerful operation (near sea level) through the days.
Gasoline mileage has not changed at all, which surprises me, given I
now tend to really throttle it up to speed. Well done Factory Pro!!

Tuning Notes
Backfires under deceleration
Lean backfire (worse when cold): Richen (unscrew) fuel screws 1/2 turn
at a time.
Rich backfire (worse when hot): Lean (screw in) fuel screws 1/2 turn
at a time.
Final screw setting should usually be between 1.5 and 4 turns out.
If more than 4x, increase pilot jet 1 size to #58 from the stock #55.

Artisan Crafted Fine Cheeses – Since 1865
Specializing in Handmade Brie & Camembert
Marin French Cheese Co., also known as The Cheese
Factory and Rouge et Noir is not just the oldest cheese manufacturer
in the country, but a vacationers and day trippers destination as
well as a unique part of American History. Located north of San
Francisco, east of Napa County, west of Pt. Reyes and Olema and
south of Sonoma County, Marin French has produced hand crafted
Artisan soft ripened cheese since 1865. Rouge et Noir cheeses are
similar to French and European varieties but reflect the
characteristics of Northern California, producing it's own regional
style.
The extension of the laboratory for engines of the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935.
Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a
successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the
advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to
that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in
normal use but well preserved.
