Dave,  don't worry about it.  A lot of us on here are tinkerers.  Heck, I'd like to tinker with a Hypercharger on my shovel, but I'm looking for a not-so-pretty one I can sandblast and paint flat black.

And before anyone says anything, I know it won't add power, I'm like Dave and his carb...I just like the look, and I think flat black would go nice with my flat black exhaust.

Had a couple flat-black Shovels in the day.
Folks thought they were some clapped-out pile-o-chit, until that 4 3/4" engine would fire up.
One was a 92"er, and the other was 98".

Ain't nothin' sounds like a stroked Shovel with drag pipes. 
Puts a smile on my face and a chubby in my pants every time I fire her up.

65* today and the mud on my driveway is still too soft to get the bike out...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Hey Johnnykool6, don't need any parts right now but can you let us know where parts can be found. Thanks!
Dave

As I remember, I found them right through the edelbrock.com site.  I emailed their support team, and they gave me the place to contact them.

I just bought gaskets and needle and seat from edelbrock. They had them in stock. 

Good to know! I may just buy some parts in case I need them in the future before they are all gone. I instaledl the carb and manifold on the bike last week and took it for a short spin. Was rough for the first 5 minutes then smoothed out. Just have to adjust the idle as it is too high. May be selling this setup as I found a brand new unused one.

OK so I have been running my Edelbrock Dual Quicksilver II Carbs for two months. Thought I would give you my opinion on them. I did have tuning problems until I downloaded the instructions from the internet. These carburetor adjustments are backwards  which may have been the source of frustration by others that have tried to tune these carbs. To lean these carbs instead of turning the adjustment clockwise you turn the adjustment counter clockwise  .  Once I figured this out I was able to tune the carburetor to my satisfaction. So far so good I feel it is a good improvement over the stock CV carb.

Those screws are idle air adjustment. Not for tuning anything but idle and off idle running.
Screw them in to decrease air (richer) screw them out for more air (leaner)
Glad to hear it's running so well,
