It's like watching a laidback doctor..doing open heart surgery..dude..never gits upset over anything.....just calmed and cool........thats what I dig about Mike.....his old school...cool..👍😎
Your dad and mine could have been good neighbours, but for distance. I owe mine like you owe yours. From my side had he watched me trying to deal with that choke ball and spring, it might have been "the mind and the body do not get on well together." but with a smile, bless him. Bless you and the camera man too, 'cause you combine to make me happy.
That ‘screw installer’, as you called it, is the only other one I’ve ever seen other than the one I got from my dad about 60 years ago. When you picked it up I thought to myself “I know what he’s going to do with that”.
Those old brass carbs are so pretty when they're cleaned up. A little too much coffee? Nah, can't happen. As I get older, some of my fine motor skills may be lacking but I can still stick my hand in to a tight space and maneuver a bolt in while my adult kids boggle and constantly ask how I do that magic trick.
These videos are cool. I end up wanting them to be longer. This one reminds me of my teenage years in the 1970s. If we had a friend that needed a carb or a brake cylinder or whatnot rebuilt, we'd find a property owner who had a shed and a few tools, buy him some beer, and go over and do the job there. Those were really precious times, which molded some of my future life.
I like 'em and have them both ways. My Knuckle actually has a beautifully chromed one. My hat is off to the pro that did the job. It's perfect and operates perfectly.
Gotta love the brass, old school patience with those small pieces.. I might have said a couple 4 letter words during reassembly.. thanks for the video.
Importing that old Pan is getting closer and closer and I cant get enough of these vids of yours. Especially on the old bikes. You make it look so easy to pull apart and fix/clean up. 👍
Excellent work camera man I felt like Mike was about to elbow me when I had my face down by that beautiful carburetor Thanks for another excellent video
I'm a music "appreciator." I know what a National is. I do have friends that play them. When I had my shop, we had live music every Thursday Night during the Summer months. Music and Harleys go together. The music stand holds a service manual. A 1936 National has got to be an incredible instrument.
@@pacificmike9501 ya but few are properly tuned . I can listen to the exoust and tell you if it needs richened or leaned or advanced or retarded. 90% are off and 50% are way off kinda like weman.lol
As an FYI, if you are using Berryman's (the stuff in the white 1-gallon "dunk tank") don't stir it up. A lot of folks stir it, thinking it needs to be mixed up, then don't understand why their shop stinks for a few days. The stuff has water (or something else) floating on top as a "vapor barrier" to the heavier cleaner, so stirring it up just makes it stink and doesn't help with cleaning.
I agree when cleaned up the m-74 along with all the linkerts are beautiful carbs but on my '55 panhead when I changed to a pre-cv keihin I went from 25 to 40 mpg. I do run a mtp-35 with an adjustable mainjet on my 40 knuckle which is better but the new carbs just work better. I get it if you are going to ride a 100 miles a year on your garage queen it doesn't make a difference. This is by no means an indictment on your efforts but just an alternative to someone who wants to ride these marvels. Excellent rebuild video. Colder weather is coming even in the high desert.
I've ridden all over with my 52 Pan with an M74-B. But then, she's got a real nice one and I always use modern high flowing air filters on them. Same on my Knuckle. Both motors are 74 inch, with a few modifications. They are both super smooth, high mileage makers.
Great video, Mike. Amazing to me, that with all the mods done to that old pan over the years, that it still has the original carb. So many people just threw an S&S on it. Which is not an automatic cure all.
Getting back to that 1956 thing. My uncle used to say that about what he called his 56 Harley. It was really a 57. Last of the hardtails. Somehow he was able to purchase it in Oct 1956 from Wilkes Harley Davidson in Barre VT. Before they were released to the public.Point being we like rigid frames. Best wishes Mike.
You were correct in the last video. That is the carb my friend 's panhead had. I recall it being that color, but I was unaware it was a brass body. His and the one in your vid here are the only two I recall ever seeing. Because so many install other carbs/SS carb. I'll bet that old carb is worth some $$ to the original equipment/collector guys. FWIW these must be a pretty good carb for a pan, because my friends panhead was pretty darn fast running one of them.
They're a great all around, including "hot rod," carburetor. The only reason I ever go to a different carburetor on Knuckles and Pans is a big displacement engine that requires something larger. It's so nice to not change jets, to reach down and simply turn a few clicks at higher or lower altitudes. Once you're used to them, you realize how much they'll teach you. Just beautiful old technology. There are bunches of these carburetors around.
I wondered about the spring-loaded screw starter. I have one that hasn't been out of my tool box since breaker points went away. You know--like 45 years. LOL!
I enjoy your videos and learn a lot from your approach even though I’m A Brit bike guy and know nothing about Harleys I would really like an early iron head sportster in stock condition!
Very few of them around "in stock condition." They are cool. Certain models and certain years have become quite collectable. Like anything else, if you're really interested, become knowledgeable. There are some real treasures out there. I have a real soft spot for the XLCH models. I did have a 77 XLCR with almost no miles on it. Have fun.
Hello from a rainy Sweden. Nice to see how that old carb turn out very nice👍. But i can see that it is not a work that i could do. My hands shake to much to put in those small parts and such. But i don't have a carb like that anyway. Have a nice day both of you. Kjell Blomstrand🇸🇪.
Another great video Mike. I'm curious to see if you happen to know an old friend of mine... Dan "Fuzzy" Quinntana? I'm not 100% on his last name, We all just called him Fuzzy! LoL. You remind me of him with all of your knowledge and manner of teaching. TY
I can't really imagine needing thread lock on any intake system pieces. Any small flakes that might break loose could potentially gum up fuel passages I would think. They never instructed us to do so in any classes I've taken.
that carb really cleaned up nice ! when i watch this i can't help but wonder how somebody figured out how to make this all work while designing it . must requres a verty different brain than mine. :)
IIRC General Tool made those screw starters & also recall seeing them at Sears in Craftsman brand a long time ago...Blue Point might carry them.???...Ferrous & Nonferrous versions IIRC = magnetic vs. device that applies tension to slotted screw...Also remember one for nonferrous Phillips & "Reed & Prince" screws that applied tension in 4 outward directions...

Hello Mike Just put a Rubber float in my Linkert M74 and now start and runs a lot better. Can you show how to adjust high and low speed needles when running. Thanks your the BEST
I'll certainly will show it when we start up the Pan. We have shown it in past videos, but we'll show it again. With the engine running, adjust the idle mixture in one click at a time, until it idles smoothly. Then adjust the high speed needle while running down the road. This will take a little practice. You start out rich, then you lean it out by turning the needles in one click at a time. This done with engine warm. Go to our TH-cam homepage and click on the word "videos." It's in there, but, we'll show it again on startup as soon as we get there.
Well now I’m having a debate one what carburetor to run on my panhead chopper. That linkart looks so good but I was also thinking the S&S super would be good then I found out lectron makes one for the old panhead too. Too many choices and I only have one engine
@@pacificmike9501 All i know are old carbs on cars (One/two barrel like on my 59 283 ) and nothing about FI much less EFI. I can fix a carb but am totally ignorant of electronics. But I love em for sure. Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
Hey Mike, this is a bit off topic, does a 79 rotary top trans have a provision for a Speedo cable, or is the cable driven by the wheel unit? I am converting an fx to an fl basically. I think the dash and Speedo are from a 75 fl , is there an issue with ratios as well? I hope that's enough info, any insight would be greatly appreciated. 4 speed rotary "cowpie" trans, 74 inch engine, 16 inch wheels, stock gearing. Thanks my friend! Love what you guys do! (Funny how you guys are all Mike's, seems like all the Harley guys here are Dave's, lol!)
Okay, I'm not sure. Look at the case. If there's no place for the drive to plug in, you're stuck with a front wheel drive speedometer. If that's the case, you'll have to decide what wheel size you want to run and that would decide which part number to use for the drive. In other words, if you're running a 130 X 16 tire. Pick the drive and speedo for an FL. If you're running a 21" wheel, pick speedo and drive for a FXWG. It's just "cross referencing."
Hey Mike! Very good video. Quick question would a 1985 Softail FXST come factory with the cruise control screw/knob under the throttle housing or is that an aftermarket mod? Ive tried to search the Internet for it but cant seem to find an answer. Thanks again for all your help and information, I feel much more comfortable with my Harley knowledge now because of you. Happy Thanksgiving. 👍
Hello Mike, I found the Venturi for my '64 Pan's M-74 was loose when I removed the main nozzle. The throttle plate/shaft stopped it. Service manual says replace is extremely loose. I don't detect any side/side or up/down plan and no daylight around it and no pitting. Am thinking it is OK but that depends on the one's opinion of loose, as in; cold to me is warm to an Eskimo, sort of thing. Any opinion on this? Thanks for your posts and in reading this. Always appreciate your opinion!
@@pacificmike9501 I never broke a leg, but my old '54 Pan DID launch me over the handlebars a few times until I learned to manipulate that distributor. P.S. Great video again, Mike.
Thank You. My 80" Indian Chief had a 4 13/16" stroke and a long kicker arm. That arm with its gear ratio on it turned the motor quite a ways every time you kicked it over. For some odd reason, I kicked it over without retarding the timing. Let's just say "I wasn't thinking." I did got to a chiropractor after it kicked me. I needed my right hip removed from my ribcage.

As I get older, some of my fine motor skills may be lacking but I can still stick my hand in to a tight space and maneuver a bolt in while my adult kids boggle and constantly ask how I do that magic trick.
And I still knock things over and catch them before they hit the floor. "How'd he do that?" Funny how working with your hands develops things in you.

We all start out the same, then do what moves us, and somehow we develop into that which we are. In a perfect world, everyone could love what they do.
Thanks for putting up cool and informative videos. I watch these for good entertainment and I learn a thing or two as well. :)
Glad you like them!
Hello Mike great to see you again and enjoy ing your shows keep up the great work my friend and thanks for sharing and God’s blessings for you brother
Thank You, and always wishing you and yours the best.
How is it possible that you don't cuss your way through a project like this? Thanks for being awesome.
Good question! It doesn't get the job done any easier. So, I decided I wasn't going to do that. I just have a good time with it. Thank You
I see a lot of them old linkert's and a good majority of them have been polished. Good to see that one has not been polished.
