damn, this was the best carb rebuild video I've ever seen. really freakin well edited and right to the point no fluff! great job bro! thanks
Hey NinjaBarney7 I really appreciate the kind words ,thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment. Cheers to you good sir 🍻
TRyan, this is a great video - thank you. The last time I was inside my Super E TH-cam didn't exist but now all the mechanics I could possibly trust have moved away or moved on so it is up to me. I am using S&S Instruction 51-1012 for my shovelhead. I can ride the bike for about an hour and then it goes to hell popping and whatnot and then it runs fine after cooling for a half hour or so. I like to be methodical, but I had to ride the damn bike for an hour and then be stranded each time I tried a repair and that got old so now I am redoing everything that might be the offending part and I don't care if I identify the cause or not. Thanks again TRyan, you are a great mechanic and a great cinematographer!
Hi Thomas . I have to thank you very much for this great comment .It was nice way to start my day this morning .I like your plan of attack to fix the issue with your bike .The symptom you mention is an interesting one to try and diagnose. I will be heading to my local shop tomorrow and I will run it by the head mechanics to see if they can offer any insight . Hopefully they will have something to offer .I'll get back to you in this thread with their responces .With any luck we might be able to nail this one down . In the mean time if you do find the problem and if you get a momment comment back to let us know what it was .Cheers 🍺
Hey Thomas sorry for the delay in getting back to you.After talking to a few of the mechanics at the shop there was one suggestion that if the rockers were out of adjustment the bike could run ok for a bit until it heats up and then it would run progressively worse .Then once cooled could start and run until the cycle repeats ..Another suggestion was if the battery was brand new and the charging system was no good the bike could run until.the battery drained.And as it's a brand new battery they can come back to life after an hour or so and have enough charge to run the bike for a short while again But that scinerio only works a few times .Hopefully you get the bike sorted our soon so you can actually get out and ride .If you get a chance let me know how you end up correcting the problem. Good luck 👍
@@TRyanLearnBikes
Hi TRyan, thank you for the research (thanks to your friends, too!), the battery/charging system is OK and the rockers are original, mounted on new S&S heads - I don't know why the guy didn't get new rockers, but that's the way he did it. Kinda noisy, but I haven't had any trouble with them since way before this latest problem.
The carb insulator block that came off looked thin to me compared to my 1990's (?) memory of putting the carb on new. I got a new block and it was 3/8" thick vs. the 1/4" block I just took off. The extra turns on the carb/manifold bolts were enough to make the end of the bottom bolt seat tight against the fuel bowl as well as the bolt head seating against the manifold. It only made sense that the bolt would stretch under heating and allow a vacuum leak.
But that wasn't it; I was stranded again for another half hour while the bike cooled. I really thought I had it figured out.
Today I removed the points, etc. and tore out the advance weights and one of the springs was broken and the fancy needle bearings on the weight swivel pins were rusty with a little orange goo on them. I don't know why it ran well cold. Maybe it got stuck in full advance when it got hot, even at low rpm (not enough spring tension.) Parts should be here in time for next weekend. I'll keep you posted.
@ThomasRafferty-rf4tq Holy moly man I'm impressed with your attack process on this one .You have systematically eliminated potential problems and it looks like you may have found the elusive issue .Fingers crossed this is it and you'll have your bike back to good soon .If you get a chance , let us know how you make out .We are genuinely curious how it plays out .Good luck Thomas .Cheers 🍻
I never would have got the Super E back together without your help. Thank You!!!
Hi Janibre1 , Good to hear you had success getting your carb back together. I'm glad the video helped in some small way .Thanks for the great comment. Cheers 🍻
Wow. Great video. Shows what to do. Explains some. Shows you a video. Throws in a little dry humor. Pacing is nonstop. I don't have to sit through anything unnecessary. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Hey Joseph,I really appreciate you watching and commenting so positively .It's my pleasure to be able to help out in any way I can .Thanks again. Cheers, my friend 🍻 .
Quick question maybe you could help me out. When I reinstall the accelerator pump spring and nut, it feels a little loose. Is that supposed to have tension on it while at idle. Or only when the rod pushed on it?
@josephshealey Hi Josh . With mine in hand as an example, it does not feel loose at all .There is continuous spring tension on that pump actuator assembly. It can be a bit fiddly to get both halves and that spring in between to fit under tension. I'm guessing you may have to have a close look at how that spring is locked into those two pieces.I know I didn't do a very good job of shooting that part up close .Looking back ,I should have isolated the view more effectively. Hope that helps .If you get a chance let me know how you make out solving the issue. Cheers 🍻
Yes I got it. It's a little tricky getting it together. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it
Another question. Everything I read says it needs 2 cables. One push one pulls. My bike only has 1 and I'm pretty sure the guy who had it was riding it like that. Will not have the push cable not make it run right?
Awesome video, I've rebuilt lots of these carbs and they always run great, but I learned some things from watching this, The grease in the boot for the pump rod is a good idea.
Hey thanks very much for the great comment .I'm glad you enjoyed the video and were able to use some of the info too .Cheers my friend 🍻
This is hands down the best video I've seen regarding these carbs, would love to see one on a Keihin 40mm CV carb for Harleys 1998-2004
Hi Water Guy. I very much appreciate your kind comments.
Your suggestion to do a video on the Keihin 40 mm Cv carb is a great idea..Cheers my friend 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes Curious what carb cleaning solution did you use in the ultrasonic cleaner ?
@@waterguy5924 ..The solution I used on that particular job was call "Shooters Choice Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution "Purchsed from Amazon .It worked well but was fairly expensive at around 60 us dollars for 1 gallon . There are many other alternatives out there for sure ,each with pros and cons .I'm still searching for the gold standard ..that may be a good video idea to put together. Thanks for the idea ..cheers
Excellent video the S&S Super E rebuild instructions (and the camera / sound) are clear and easy to follow. Nicely done - thank you!
Thank you very much .I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a positive comment.It really makes a huge difference in motivation for future videos when people like yourself respond so kindly. Cheers 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes I want to second those comments and note that I liked the video because it’s straightforward, not a lot of excessive talking, long winded explanations that briefly lead into other topics.
I followed your instructions and I was able to repair the carburetor. First time I rebuilt one of these S&S carbs.
Years ago I had to rebuild my old F-150 carb about every other year. With your video as my guide it was a breeze!
Thank you!
@chazzcapone. Hi Chazz.Im glad to been able to help you out with your carburetor. Your kind positive words mean alot and I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a great comment. Cheers to you good sir 🍻
I am not a carburetor guy at all but watching this makes me think I’ll go snatch mine off and rebuild it. Good job.
Thanks very much James. I'm sure you'll do fine .The only finiky bit is that double spring within a spring on the shaft that closes the butterfly valve .Pay close attention to how they fit together when you take it apart. I should have done a better job detailing that part . If you have any questions along the way let me know, and I'll try and help you out .Good luck and thanks for the great comment. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for that great instruction video! I think this sets me up to tackle the job myself. My bike (twincam) runs miserably, I suspect a faulty or worn accellerator diaphragm and probably dirty jets and what not. It also tends to stall on idle when the engine is warm. I have the same ultrasonic cleaner, so even that is here to do the job. Cheers, mate!
Hi Roger Thannks very much for your great comment I appreciate you taking the time to do that . I'm sure you'll have success getting that carb sorted .Once its all cleaned up your bike should run so much better .Already having an ultrasonic cleaner is a huge piece of the puzzle as it is an excellent tool for this type of job .Good luck ahead .Cheers to you good sir 🍺
This is a good one. Saved it for future reference. The close up really helps. I noticed that you placed the diaphragm spring on top and I’ve seen others put it under the diaphragm. I did as you demonstrated and it is working great. Thanks a bunch!

The accelerator pump in my Super 'E' has no effect and having issues tuning. Figured I'd rebuild it since I have over 45k on it, searched the TH-cams and found your video. Great video! Straight and to the point, gonna give the rebuild a try. Thanks, friend.
Thanks very much, Leo. A fresh carb rebuild should make a huge difference if your accelerator pump isn't right .Pay close attention to how the compound spring set up goes together on the butterfly valve shaft .It can be a little tricky sometimes to reinstall , but if you take a good look at it and even take a few close-up pictures before you disassemble it, you'll be fine. Good luck .If you get a chance, let me know how it all goes and how much better your bike runs. Cheers, my friend 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes I finally rebuilt my Super E carb. Your video got me through it but I had a hell of a time with throttle shaft and actuator springs per your warning, lol. While installing the actuator spring, the Throttle shaft spring kept coming off. I found it easier to install the throttle plate after installing the throttle shaft spring, then install the actuator spring. The plate kept the throttle shaft and spring in place. It was a bear to charge the actuator spring but I was successful. My fingertips definitely feel it.
Thanks very much for such a great comment. I have full confidence that you will be able to get your carb running tip top .Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers to you good sir 🍺
Thanks for an awesome video. Working on a shovelhead as well and your video is my next step
Hi David ,thanks for an awesome comment. Good luck ahead with your shovelhead. Cheers 🍻
This video helped me rebuild my super e today. Picked up a custom bile thats all s&s and it started with a jump but poured fuel from the carb and ran poorly. Upon dissassembly i found the accelerator pump diaphraghm kinked up which explained the leak and running issue. But the very old dark piss colored fuel didnt help lol. Only did the basic rebuild as the carb was in otherwise good shape. First time working with an s&s product. Cant wait to get the bike back together and hear it scream.
Hey I'm glad the video helped you out . Thanks for taking the time leave me a great comment .Good luck on the rebuild and ride safe .Cheers good sir

Recently picked up an 80 shovelhead and it had a s&s carburetor I have not had an s&s carburetor since the early eighties and back then, they did not have an accelerator pump or at least the one I didn't and I never could get used to the roll-on of the throttle... But after cleaning this one..this one seems to be pretty good
That's great to hear .I hope it continues to perform well for you.
They are very good carbs and I think they actually look very cool too.I bet it looks good on your shovelhead. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers 🍻

Learned some broke some. It’s a great video for those who like to brag on how they know this carb. Not for a total reference why so fast. A lot of torque value dismissed. Not every one want to go watch another video.
Interesting comment kapow kapow. I'm terribly sorry my apherantly weak video left you disappointed and maybe a little grumpy. For future reference know that if a video is too fast for you to follow there is an option to play it back at reduced speed, hope that helps you .Its always nice to get constructive criticism from learned experts like yourself so I took a quick look at your channel to see if I could learn how to properly shoot and edit like a pro but unfortunately you have no videos of your own that I could check-out and learn from .Anyway thanks very much for your insightful thoughts its always a pleasure to hear from those in the know .Cheers 🍻

What a fantastic production, 2 thumbs up. One question. There is nowhere a video I can find, that shows how to replace the accelerator pump nozzle. I wanted to clean mine and it broke of when I tried to remove it, that's when I found out it is pressed in. I can't get the rest of it out, so I guess I will have to get a replacement bowl, but then still will need to install a new nuzzle into that. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Data Android , thanks very much for the positive feedback. Sorry to hear of your issue involving the pump nozzle. As you have discovered it is a press fit and typically not removable. I'm guessing a replacement bowl should come with a nozzle in place .If thats not the case a skilled machinist may have some insight on how to solve this one. I wish I had a better answer for you .When you get a chance please let me know how you resolve this dilemma .Good luck .
You are my hero
Well now Anthony ,I've got to say thats one of the most unique comments I've ever recieved .Cheers my friend .
Exceptionally well done! Short & sweet! Do you think a Gasbox or S&S carb support bracket is necessary for additional support if installed on a 2001 Indian Scout? Thanks.
Thanks very kindly Yaya .Thats a good question. I think alot depends on the size and weight of the air filter arrangement you have .As its a short body carb if you use a lightweight breather you would likely be ok without a support if you like the uncluttered look .But I use one on my bike because its out of sight and adds an extra bit of strength
Such great movies. One thing I'd suggest tho is to slow down a bit.
Thanks Danny I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment so kindly. I understand that video has a bit of a fast pace to it and you aren't the first person to mention it .But if you go into the settings option you can reduce the speed to how ever fast you'd like. I use it all the time when watching youtube videos,usually to speed them up because they're so slow .Hope that helps. Thanks again 👍
I see you dropping into ball bearings when I got mine on my bike the ball bearing was on the bottom of the spring which I seen in a video that the ball bearing should go on the top but I did not know there was another ball bearing..
Well I just went by how it came apart and when reassembled I reversed the procedure. I think it's right cause everything works fine so far .
Great video. Much love from Tx!What would it take to rebuild mine??
Thanks Rey .All it takes is a little time and effort and you should be fine .The rebuild kits are easily sourced on line .No special tools are required and once you get going they are a nice project to tackle .Let me know how you make out .Cheers my friend 🍻
This is a phenomenal video. Well done sir. Quick question - why was white grease the choice for lubricating the bellows?
Hey Charles I really appreciate the kind words my friend it means a lot .As far as the white grease , it was just what I had on the shelf there may be better options but I figured something was better than nothing so thats what I went with .You raise an interesting point though..I wonder what the pros use ,if anything.
Cheers 🍻, and thanks again.
Best carb rebuild video! What size ultrasonic cleaner do you have?
Hi Twins Moto Garage Thanks very much for the kind comment.The Ultrasonic cleaner I use has a 6 liter capacity .If I was going to get another one I might consider getting the next size up because when you insert the wire basket the available volume is considerably less than 6 liters .Cheers and thanks again .

Thanks very much for noticing and taking the time to comment so kindly. I truly appreciate it. Cheers 🍻
Excellent and detailed video. Two questions; parts diagram shows the spring to sit under the accelerator diaphragm, you put it on top. Also the ball bearing is shows as under the spring as well.
Are the diagrams wrong?
Hi Sol ,Thank you very much for your kind comment and good questions . I certainly don't want to tell you that any diagram you have may be wrong .But during the dissasembly process in the video starting at about the 1:36 mark you can see the original position of the springs we're talking about .The diaphragm spring is clearly between the cap and the diaphragm .And the other small springs sit underneath the ball bearings . You can see during the assembly process it is just the same .Hopefully that helps .Good luck ahead .Cheers
Thanks. Watched video again and the diagrams; you are correct. I was looking at the diagram that is upside down.
@somoss0117 Good stuff .Glad we got it sorted. Now you can get it back together and go for a ride on a freshly rebuilt carb .Enjoy .Cheers 🍻
I'm curious as to what products are used to help lubricate and the Teflon tape paint
Anytime I put parts like this together,just a light wipe of oil works wonders and the Teflon past used in this video is a product used in fitting natural gas lines together. It's really not imperative to use .I just used it to create a super air tight seal that is easily removable when required. But really you're fine without it .Hope this helped. Cheers 🍻
Also very curious on how to get the throttle spring on properly
Hi Nathalie ,That spring set up can be a little finicky .I regret not doing a better job of filiming the process and explaining it better . You are not the only person to have asked me about it . Its just patience and trying to get a close look at it pre disassembly helps a bit too . I wish I had a better answer for you . I struggled with it also but like I said a little bit of patience and persistance will solve it .Good luck ahead I'm sure you'll get it .
08/15/23 what are you using for cleaner in your ultrasonic system? Your carb cleaned up far better than mine
For that particular job I used a product called "Shooters Choice Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution " It was available on Amazon but it was out of stock last time I checked. There is another product called "Ultrasonic cleaning solution for carburetors fuel injectors and other auto parts " it is in stock on Amazon right now and costs about 60 $ for 1 gallon. It is likely very good and should provide you with solid results. Hope this helps .Good luck ahead. Cheers 🍻

Nice video! Were those jet sizes in your carb for a stock shovelhead?
Thanks very much. No I don't think those were stock shovel jets ..Those were in the bike when I bought it and there were some engine mods so it was definitely not a stock motor
@@TRyanLearnBikes the reason I ask is because my shovel I bought had jets: 028/ 068. And it has an Andrews cam, and S&S heads, and I dont know anything about them. Neither does S&S, they said their archives dont go back that far. They could tell me who they sold them to, but nothing about them. Very weird, I was just wondering if I needed bigger jets. Thanks for the reply.
@bryanjh73 Well Bryan when it comes to fine tuning a carb properly it seems to be a bit of a black art .Anytime I talk to guys in the know it seems like they always kind of agree that it's sort of a trial and error strategy to really dial it in . They'll go up a size , try it out .Then go down a size , try it out . Plus they're always reading how the plug looks and messing with the air screw or fuel screw depending on the carb .I wish I could tell you exactly what would would work for you but I'm not that well schooled to give solid advice .On my bikes I try and find what feels the best and look to get opinions on the settings I'm using from guys who race .They have done all the heavy lifting and can usually steer you in the right direction quickly. So if you can get to a dragstrip or a road course and ask around You'll find most of those guys are fantastic and willing to share .Hope this long winded answer helps .Good luck .

One favor there's 2 hippies here trying to figure out how you loaded the Springs.
Explaining the last of the mohican Spring load would help out and slow down one favor Remember we're slow old oh Yeah and stoned.
Ok now thats pretty funny my friend . I know I could have taken more time and shot that sequence much better than I did.My apologies. It's a hard to explain verbally as well .But with one spring inside the other .if you really slow down the video you will be able to see the start point at the 2:25 mark in the video.Try and match the spring orientation as seen before its taken apart.
I know that's a frustrating part that I should have paid more attention to in the final edit of this video. With a little patience I'm sure you'll be able to get it .Good luck ahead .Cheers 🍻
@TRyanLearnBikes Thanks for the reply. It is the last Spring on the actuator that we're having problems with .
@bowandarrowindian3704 Oh ok I misunderstood .All I can offer is to freeze the video at the point of disassembly and try to duplicate how it looks at that point.I will definitely do a much better job on my next video. Again my apologies good sir.
What solution did you use in the ultrasonic?
This particular occasion I used a product called "Shooters choice ultrasonic cleaning solution " I ordered it from Amazon.
@@TRyanLearnBikes thank you. Great vid!
I noticed there's a brass tube. That is close to the pilot jet what does that do..? I take it you don't remove it
I think that tube you're referring to is a vent and it isn't one to be tinkered with .It's press fit and best not to mess with .
awesome GG WP
Thanks very much Marco
Cheers my friend 🍻
May you be ever so humble... 😅. You should change the name of your channel, man! '''Trying-to-learn'''?
It just sounds like... Everything that you're Not! 😅. Excellent video work and explanation! 10/10!! So step-by-step and easy to see, and follow! Awesome stuff!
Suggestion: New name - ''Tryin-keep-up''
Expert instructor 💪
Hey Max Well .I can't thank you enough for such an encouraging kind comment. You've literally made my day and have given me a boost to TRy'an make more content that resonates with good people like yourself. Thanks again and cheers to you my friend 🍻
Excellent video BUT I'm a little disappointed how you kinda glossed over the foolery required to install the accelerator pump spring (4:16). Just a little bit of preload on the spring could have been mentioned, don't you think? Yeah, yeah, I know everyone's a critic...😉
Thanks again!
You make a good point Cam ,that spring can be a little tricky to install for sure , I'll pay attention to the details better on my next one .Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave valid constructive criticism. Cheers 🍻
Exactly. Absolutely essential video. No one has come even close to this video. I wouldn’t have gotten as far as I have without it. I still don’t know if I have that spring on correctly. I think I’m within 180* of getting it right. Should the butterfly be a bear to open? Or about the same tension as with just the throttle side spring?
@@chrisrhoy Hi Chris ,thanks very much for the comments. I fell short with detailing the spring set up for sure. Regarding the butterfly being a bear to open, well I'd say its normal to be fairly strong to open if you're trying to actuate via the cable guide using your hand only .Once the cable is attached there's a mechanical advantage gained by the pulley effect from both the throttle spool and the cable guide itself so it would feel like a normal throttle does .Note that the throttle should snap shut strongly when you release your grip ..thats very important, it shouldn't be lazy returning to zero .You need to take the time to get it right , I'm sure with a little patience you will be able to get it sorted .Please let me know how you make out .Cheers 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes yeah, a pictorial of how you got the actuator spring wound around the actuator lever while attached to the actuator arm would be very helpful; I struggled with it for over an hour, but I got it after using a bigger pair of pliers! Great video, otherwise. Thank you for the clear explanation of almost everything!
Huh. Who's the girl on the bike? Sweet.
Nice catch ,not many people see that quick frame insert .It's of my favorite pix of my daughter and her dirtbike .
Like cam said.
Butterfly shaft. 10 parts, 17 camera views or clips or whatever, 30 seconds.
And no technique shown for loading springs.
A little hard to follow. Guess I'll have to find a video for less experienced
DIYers. It is smooth and very informative none the less.
Hey Greg ,sorry about that , you both make a valid point .I certainly could have done a much better job detailing that particular sequence. I will certainly try to pay more attention in future videos .I'm still trying to learn how to put these videos together properly. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave constructive criticism I appreciate that. Cheers 🍻
One VERY IMPORTANT thing not shown in this video is the winding of the springs. Why this was left out I don't know. I found another video that showed this important step. Any video that doesn't show the entirety of each step is worthless IMHO.
You make a valid point . I should have done a better job explaining that portion of the rebuild. But worthless...ouch ....come on man that is a tad harsh ..how about a 1/10 ... give something here .
There must have been one good thing you could say . Anything...just one ..dig deep come on ..what have you got ?
Nice fucking edit bro
Well, sir, I very much appreciate your concise straight to the point comment, definitely one of my favorites ever. Cheers to you, my friend 🍻
3 seconds for the most complicated part of the carb. The springs. Come on guy.
You're right .I have no excuse. I certainly could have done a better job detailing the springs .
@@TRyanLearnBikes don’t get me wrong this is a major help. The springs if you haven’t done them before are complicated as shit. When I got it I felt dumb lol. I also got a carb kit with a messed up plate so I feel like I’m forcing the plate into the carb on the arm. Ever run into that?
@@slumedia205 Hey thanks man I appreciate that . Regarding the fit of the plate into the arm .I did notice mine was pretty snug too .Yours may have a fit tolerance that could benefit from applying a bit of heat to the arm and putting the plate into your freezer for a while before you assemble them together . Sometimes the slight differential gained is enough to get the job done without haveing to force anything . I hope this helps . Good luck . If you get a chance let me know how you make out . Cheers 🍺
Thanks but dud what fucking rush are you in with those slides? Half this video im just trying to pause it in the right spot to see if I put in a part facing the right way..
Hey my friend I get what you're saying .Its a delicate blend of delivering info without dragging the video tempo to a boring pace . The option to slow the video is a solution I figured most people use if they want to have a more mellow experience .Not sure if you know but if you click on the gear icon in the lower right an option to adjust the playback speed pops up and you can set it to a more comfortable tempo for you.Hope that helps .Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment .Cheers to you good sir .
I don’t know how any one found this video anything but frustrating. Sure It has the order the parts are assembled but if you don’t already know exactly how everything sits or faces where springs latch etc… you may get a fraction of a second glimpse at how something may fit together but mostly it’s just on to the next part. Might as well had saved yourself some time and made a list and posted that.
Sorry to hear that Mike .Let me suggest playing the video back at
reduced speed hopefully that helps a bit ..good luck 👍
@@TRyanLearnBikes Cut another edit and slow it down to address the comments then you'll have the best of both worlds...double your add revenue too
@@vk7408 Thats a great idea but ad revenue isn't a thing I have to deal with ..I'm way too small and am a long way from being monetized.
@@TRyanLearnBikes A girl can dream! Think of it as a director's cut. Love to see some more Harley rebuilds with your same attention to detail. Anything to do with the shovel buid...Maybe even an SU carb rebuild. Take care. Great work. I'll help you promote the video
@@vk7408 VK. Your suggestions and kind comments are very much appreciated, its such great motivation to know some people actually appreciate the effort It takes to put videos together. Also its really great of you to help promote the video too...thank you so much. There is some more vids planned on the shoveled in the future for sure .
Cheers my friend 🍻 you made my day .
Would be a great video if it were a tad bit more informational instead of “this part” and it’s on
Hi Keys , You make a valid point ,I could have been a little more concise .In the future I will most certainly try and tighten things up .I'm still TRy'an to learn how to shoot and edit videos properly .If you want to learn something I bet you did'nt know ,have a look at one of my most recent videos about motorcycle chain secrets .Let me know if I did a better job explaining things in that one .And hey, if nothing else you may learn something .Here's the link ,I look forward to your comment .

Best thing you can do is get rid of that tractor carburetor... Then get yourself a Mikuni HRS...💯🙋♂️🤫👌✌️👋👋
I’m considering this right now.
I rebuilt my S&S Super E shorty carb and while there’s a noticeable improvement from how the bike was running until now, post rebuild, I’m strongly considering the Mikuni carb
SLOW DOWN! PLEASE SPEND A FEW SECONDS ON SOME DETAILS.
Sorry the tempo was not quite right for you . There is an option for you to slow the video down in the settings .Hope that helps
Way too fast.
Sorry about that Bob .Not sure if you're aware of the playback speed setting feature. Look on the bottom right of the video ,click the gear ⚙️ icon ,select playback speed and adjust as required. Hopefully that should help you out .
