Cheers Mark.. that was a correctly sized alun bit, not a screw driver bit.. it was the only way i could get a tool securely in there withg such tight access..... just common sense aye mate.!
Good video. I fitted a Super E kit to my 1998 1340 Evo, which had been fitted with Andrews cams. What a difference. Its mid range pulling power is effortless !
Great to hear that buddy, their accelerator pump is three times the size of the stock Mikuni carb.. so it always has fat torque on tap.. Thank for the feedback, it really helps.. Del.
Thank you thank you for a well lit in focus vid. Been involved in mortal combat with my carb. Idling fast,running fat, mixture screw all way in. Enricher lever is hitting breather screw that holds back plate to head.
wow so much said I will just say ditto. great job. you are building the motorcycle community with this type of instruction and education. thank you sir.
I installed the same Carb on my 1993 Softail Custom way back in 1994 it wasn’t hard to do just takes a little time and patience. I still have the bike today and a 2016 Ultra limited. Good video and nice job with the camera!! 😎👍🍻
love the hack with the ring spanner and small bit when I think on all the times I wasted tryin to get out all those hard to reach bolts aaaaaaaaah great vid as always
Wow Great video Del. And great job on showing us how to do it. Great tips. I am like you by laying out the parts in a OCD way. It really helps you get the parts in order. Awesome.
By the way love your work as in what you do on bikes and the way you explain things so well and love how you keep making videos with your wife thank you both for sharinv your knowledge with us
Yesh!! Very nice indeed Del. Nothing better than fitting some new shiney parts. Gonna look sweet with the blacks back on. Cool Quote at the end!! Awrabesht to you both from me & the clan bro. 😉💙🤘
Hi Alan, thank you for your kind words... Johnny passed on your best wishes to us all on Sunday, mate if you lived here we'd always be out lol... Love and hugs to all, D&Pxx
I enjoyed this session very much. The project is coming along nicely and it's a pleasure to watch you bring it together. Wonderfully well produced and edited video as usual. I recognize that you are using quality recording equipment and taking lots of time afterwards to get it right.
Thank you so much John, that is very kind of you sir, and im glad you enjoy the videos.. Its important to keep improving the videos to earn the long term trust and respect of such loyal viewers and Patrons... Take care my friend, and have a good week. Del.
Hi Andy, it is indeed a straight forward upgrade, S&S do a fantastic job of supplying a kit that literally bolts straight on, no cutting threads, drilling, tapping, or adapting things... just assembly only... along with some outstanding instructions and a full guide on how to set them up and get the best from them!
Thanks Jimmy, the cleaner cover is a central feature and I want it to stay bright, also you rub your leg on them every day so you'd scuff it in the end!
Certainly am Sir, looking closely at the equipment, it is the most astonishing quality... so well put together and solidly built... it's the 4 barrel Holley of the bike world aye?!
Thanks Christopher, probably gonna take a couple of video to get it all fitted, it's a long, painstaking and nervous process! But I'm up for it... gonna start at the weekend!
Hi Chris, great idea but this one's not for sale my friend, at least not unless something better came along, something rare and vintage, because currently, modern Harleys really don't do much for me... wouldn't swop this one for a new Harley no matter what it was!
Yes indeed my friend, there are actually a few left over bits but they were meant to be lol.. you get a range of shims to pack out the back plate of the filter from the head, and you're never gonna use them all... and a little bag of jets in case you live on top of a mountain or something and need to jet for altitude ha ha!
Very relaxing, great video! That air cleaner cover is a classic... I want the same looking S&S mini teardrop air cleaner on my M8 Street Bob once I have the chance for a Stage-1.
what idiots keep giving these videos thumbs down? even if you dont like his choices in accessories, the content, camera work and instructions area all great
Me being from "the other side of the pond I think I can safely say "there were many fiddly bits! ! Also my wife was not happy when I rebuilt one of those CV carbs on our kitchen table in 1986 "/
Hang on a minute, isn't that what kitchen tables are for lol... seriously, yes indeed, yuo're right, a million moving parts seem to pack in to one of these!
Really great job, looks awesome! It's becoming a mint Dyna Del, I can't wait to see what happens with a good lot of black back on the bike again and dying to see what happens with the wrap/paintwork!
Another excellent video, very educational for a novice like me, between you, TMF and Dr Vstrom you chaps are costing me a fortune👍 ps I can't wait to see the Harley on the road!
That was very satisfying to watch. :) I guess it's not quite that easy to replace 4 carbs and get them all synchronised. :) This is going to be one smooooooth bike purring along. Should be interesting to hear it start up, even without all the adjustments done. Best wishes!
Use a cheap Carb Stick or Carb Gauges to tune multiple carbs. If using a Carb Stick just be careful not to go above idle or you will suck the mercury fluid from the Carb Stick down into your carb not a good thing but the stick does a good job! They make metal extension tubes that mount to your carbs usually comes with two sizes two long tubes for the inside carbs and two short tubes for the outside carbs then hook up your rubber hoses from your Stick or Gauges.
Will make a big difference,however you may need to fit a high flow petcock as I did when I fitted a one to my bike,runs ok till mid range and then starts to get fuel starvation,hope this helps.
Really? Thanks buddy... I had wondered whether Pingel would feed it better... this being a twin cam, it may have a better flow than an EVO, but I could be wrong, maybe the same tap, but I will certainly monitor it... I will feed her what she needs lol
Nice carb Del. Loving the back to basics no music just work noise vibe in this video. Keep up the good work. I just wish I could afford to buy her off you when you're done. TTFN
Thanks Tom, that's very kind of you, this one's gonna be a keeper, I don't think I could ever replace it, not just he parts I've invested in, but the rare model itself is quite unique.. thanks to Penny for finding it for sale in a place I wouldn't have looked.. was a lucky day!
Aha Tony, hoped you would appreciate that... gonna hold you to that visit, really looking forward to it mate! Just give us a heads up when and we'll make a plan! Have a great week, D&Px
Im not into this type of bike mate, but, this is compulsive viewing, so easy to watch the way you explain it all, actually looking forward to seeing this bike start up, lol, #converted.....
Hi buddy, these S&S carbs don't have a choke in the same way that the CVs do.. if you look at the air filter, there's a little lever on top of it that lifts up, and they refer to that as the 'enricher' mechanism, and it doesn't choke off the air in the normal way, it temporarily enriches the mixture hence the name... that's why I deleted the original choke knob completely. But I love the kind of thing you suggested, coins and little mascots and things looks cool...as long as it's subtle and that, indeed, would be !
Wow those S&S carbs and air cleaners sure are sexy! You made that install look easy, Del... and sounds like you’ve got a bit of a man-cold. Hope you’re feeling better! (Just got home after 30 hours of travel... snow in the forecast in 5 hours time. Nice welcome home, right?) 🏍👍🏍
Hi Gary, oh my god, you globetrotters you lol and what a difference in climate! Wouldn't it be great if we were all successful enough to live our lives chasing the sun?!!... and yes indeed, an S&S Super E carb and dimple filter is a 44 Magnum, a Fender Strat, a Rolex Oyster, and a Levi 501 of the carb world lol Have a great week at home, and keep warm! D&Px
Thank you buddy, I agree with you, the carb itself is a thing of beauty, but then if it's gonna have to hide behind anything, a classic dimple teardrop is the one and only!
Hey man, great video. From what I understand the kit comes fitted with a .028 intermediate and a .066 main. It comes with one extra intermediate jet and two extra main jets. Do you happen to remember what it came with? Can’t find this info anywhere and s&s has given me a different answer every time I’ve asked them directly.
Del, with the carb upgrade did you consider changing the petrol delivery hose? Old rubber hoses are prone to cracking especially with the increasing ethanol content in fuel. R9 petrol hose is the minimum that should be installed. Also, I note you have jubilee style hose clips on the petrol delivery pipe, these should be changed for proper petrol pipe hose clips as the jubilee worm type can cut into the rubber pipe, the consequences of which can be disastrous.
Hi Del & Penny. Glad you've gone for S&S Suer E. Put one on my 1200 XL, What a difference, already done a stage II with Andrews cams and S&S lifters and S&S quickee pushrods. No more farting or hesitations. Want a big twin now.
Hi Ross, good to hear from you mate, sounds like you've got the bug, there's nothing like a big twin to haul you up the road, but at the same time, I imagine your Sportster could lose one round the bendy's, so it's always a balance aye! Ride safe!
Not long fitted an S&S teardrop airfilter kit to my Forty Eight Del i reckon I'm as pleased with mine as you are with yours pal 👍 Great video again cant wait to see it go back together now and also hear it fire up 👌
Quick question, did you have to order longer throttle cables to get it to fit right? I'm running into a problem with the length on my stock cables. Just trying to find answers.
They are the grips I had on my iron, remember when I asked you about a video, which helped me, but you made it look so easy. They do look good, any chance of parting with the fat Harley ones to replace my fat chrome and leather ones, or do you keep just in case. I don’t mean for nothing obviously I would pay. Loving this project. Love the Harley’s.
Hi Ian, great to hear from you again... sadly, these ones have been tagged already, had they not been, you'd have been welcome to them mate, sorry about that. These grips I now have a my favourite shape and feel and I wouldn't use anything else, I don't have small hands, I just find fat grips a bit clumsy specially with gloves on!... Hope you're keeping well mate, good to hear from you any time, D&Px
Hi buddy, those particular three screws come with a per-impregnanted cured threadlock already on the threads, so it looks like they've already thought of that one!... But good sound advice though mate
Hi guys...Looks great! serious question...why bother with the grip glue on the left grip? it seems like you pushed that thing on and it was super tight going on...why isnt the rubber on the bar good enough friction to not have to use glue?
Hi Mike, good sense in theory, but these particular grips have a hard plastic carcass over which the grip is moulded, and that carcass doesn't stretch, it also still has a rubbery lining which makes it impossible to get on without some form of lubricant, and as you know, any lubricant stays lubricant and then it'll twist forever more, but grip glue helps it slide on then sets it in position... and this particular grip glue is awesome because a big heave with both hands and you'll break it free and then it pulls off nicely without having to be cut cos you can't do the airline trick with a solid grip... another good light grip glue is 'hairspray' as it lubes the grip on then sets, but not as well as proper grip glue!
Yea, kinda figured you'd be upgrading to S&S, nice. Goodbye choke....... hello enrichener! 😂. Never realised that the twin cams had breather bolts in the cylinders, you live and learn. Nicely done fella, I have to say you made it look toooooo easy lol. Been there done that and I don't remember it being quite so straight forward. RSMB
Now come on Uncle Stan, you know you've done it more times than me, and you could do it from the other side of our garage with one hand whilst making a brew with the other lol...! Damn right, best carb in the world ever, can't wait to get it fired up and strt twiddling knobs (but that's another story lol)... Hope life is good brother, chat soon!
Moonfleet41 ahhhhh the beauty of carbs. It's only when you hear the idle that you realise how cool carbs are. Should sound cool after the "twiddling" 😜😂
@@softailfun Yeah, damn right, recognisable at 100 yards... tune it slightly rich on a hot day, let her hunt and surge a little at the lights, and drop the idle to about 900 rpm... perfect.!
Pick up little tips from your videos that make things easier. Thanks for the videos. Very good close up views and details.
Loved the use of the screwdriver bit to improve the grip on the hex bolt head. Genius!
Cheers Mark.. that was a correctly sized alun bit, not a screw driver bit.. it was the only way i could get a tool securely in there withg such tight access..... just common sense aye mate.!

Thanks Phil, hope you enjoy the video mate! Appreciate your kind support, D&Px
Clean and methodical, it’s a pleasure to watch you work
Thanks Daniel really appreciate that!
Can't get enough of Delboy's Vids. Absolutely addictive. Can't wait for day 23
Nice carb Del! Foxdawg is starting to grow into a real beauty!
Thanks Steven, appecriate your words of encouragement... glad you're lovin' it !

Very nice install and no excessive talking! I like that
S&S Super E, a thing of beauty and a wonderful install video to boot. This bike gets better with every episode, which is the whole point I suppose!
Thank you Peter, that's very kind of you mate, and you are of course dead right, an S&S Super E is the stuff of legends!
Wow Great video Del. And great job on showing us how to do it. Great tips. I am like you by laying out the parts in a OCD way. It really helps you get the parts in order. Awesome.
Thank you buddy, nothing like being organised aye? That way there's no spare parts at the end lol
Your meticulous approach has been rewarded by a beautiful install, Del. Great filming and editing too. Can't wait to hear it run 👍
Thanks Keith, it's a real joy to work on and legendary kit!
Looks great, and a great mech job!
Thank you very much!
@@Moonfleet41 Currently on FoXDaWG 29, the fenders are looking AWESOME!!

Love it . I cant wait to see the finished bike and the first ride. Well done Mate.

You are an amazing Artist sir. It's a pleasure to watch your videos. Love from India ✌️
That's a lovely looking piece of kit Del. I think you made a good choice given the other modifications will benefit from it also. Wehey!

That bike is stunning... You should raffle it off once it's finished I'd buy a few numbers!
Hi Chris, great idea but this one's not for sale my friend, at least not unless something better came along, something rare and vintage, because currently, modern Harleys really don't do much for me... wouldn't swop this one for a new Harley no matter what it was!
To be fair I wouldn't part with it either Del it's going to be something special that
Good to see you didn't have any left over washers or screws. S&S Super E, can't go wrong. Excellent.
Yes indeed my friend, there are actually a few left over bits but they were meant to be lol.. you get a range of shims to pack out the back plate of the filter from the head, and you're never gonna use them all... and a little bag of jets in case you live on top of a mountain or something and need to jet for altitude ha ha!
I thought for sure, when I saw the box, you were gonna pull out a black S&S teardrop cover. Your always keeping us guessing.
Very relaxing to watch
You make things look so easy lol can't wait to c the black parts go back on

Loving this project. Love the Harley’s.
Hi Ian, great to hear from you again... sadly, these ones have been tagged already, had they not been, you'd have been welcome to them mate, sorry about that. These grips I now have a my favourite shape and feel and I wouldn't use anything else, I don't have small hands, I just find fat grips a bit clumsy specially with gloves on!... Hope you're keeping well mate, good to hear from you any time, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 no worries. I was slow on the uptake. Hope you and penny are well too. Look forward to next video.
Meticulousness

Hi David, Thank you as ever for your kind support my friend, have a great weekend and take care.. D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 equally my friend 🤓👍
And waiting the next episode
See you!!
Very nice jobb !!! Big like !!!
Hint - Loctite the 3 x screws @ 14:05 - 14:21. If the air cleaner backplate screws come loose they risk being sucked in the carb.
Hi buddy, those particular three screws come with a per-impregnanted cured threadlock already on the threads, so it looks like they've already thought of that one!... But good sound advice though mate
Picked up a great little tip for the Allen heads Del. Cheers
Sure thing Craig, only works with 1/4" allen screw heads, but then you can use any torx head or allen bit and a 1/4 A/F ring spanner!
Terrific video, can't wait to hear it running! 👍
great video very well made!!!
Thank you David, appreciate that!
Hi guys...Looks great! serious question...why bother with the grip glue on the left grip? it seems like you pushed that thing on and it was super tight going on...why isnt the rubber on the bar good enough friction to not have to use glue?
Hi Mike, good sense in theory, but these particular grips have a hard plastic carcass over which the grip is moulded, and that carcass doesn't stretch, it also still has a rubbery lining which makes it impossible to get on without some form of lubricant, and as you know, any lubricant stays lubricant and then it'll twist forever more, but grip glue helps it slide on then sets it in position... and this particular grip glue is awesome because a big heave with both hands and you'll break it free and then it pulls off nicely without having to be cut cos you can't do the airline trick with a solid grip... another good light grip glue is 'hairspray' as it lubes the grip on then sets, but not as well as proper grip glue!
aren't the breathers dumping back into the carb, could you go external into a catch can, great install
Yes that's possible, there are even some specific products on the market for that job.
looks good what size jets did u use
Awesome video Delboy ride safe
You too Kris, have a good week mate!
Yea, kinda figured you'd be upgrading to S&S, nice. Goodbye choke....... hello enrichener! 😂. Never realised that the twin cams had breather bolts in the cylinders, you live and learn. Nicely done fella, I have to say you made it look toooooo easy lol. Been there done that and I don't remember it being quite so straight forward. RSMB
Now come on Uncle Stan, you know you've done it more times than me, and you could do it from the other side of our garage with one hand whilst making a brew with the other lol...! Damn right, best carb in the world ever, can't wait to get it fired up and strt twiddling knobs (but that's another story lol)... Hope life is good brother, chat soon!
Moonfleet41 ahhhhh the beauty of carbs. It's only when you hear the idle that you realise how cool carbs are. Should sound cool after the "twiddling" 😜😂
@@softailfun Yeah, damn right, recognisable at 100 yards... tune it slightly rich on a hot day, let her hunt and surge a little at the lights, and drop the idle to about 900 rpm... perfect.!
