3 YEARS LATER, THANK YOU
You are welcome….Doc
Excellent Pro Tip! This allowed me to replace the intake seals on my 1996 Electra Glide without removing the fuel tank. Worked like a charm!
Good tip. Very common sense. When you see the finish line on a big project it's easy to forget the "little things". Have a Blessed Christmas Doc!
Yup! This is a must unless you get lucky, I personally throw on the AC and take it one step further if you do head work and line up your heads as well, not much movement but enough as to where it takes next to nothing to develop a leak.
Your the man doc! Thanks for the info
Always great topics and they are appreciated. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you Doc!
Just asked about IAC On FB , You pointed me in this direction . Thanks for the videos they are a great help
Like the tips you have keep them coming thanks
Awesome as always! Thanks
Awesome tip. A easy to get tool to add to my bench. Thanks!
Excellent. These intake to head seal can be a pain for sure.
Thanks again Doc! I didn’t know about this!
Great tip Doc..there is always something to learn
Wow! There's nothing like going to an Einstein to get the basics. Luv technology!
Got Question have a 2003 Heritage Solftail with a 70 Teeth pulley.l want to put A 68Teeth pulley will that change my RPM when am cruising
you the man DOC... thank you for this VIDEO...
Good tip! Thanks
What about using ' Witness Marks ' before disassembly??
John Smith not as accurate as this method because things move slightly when re-assembled (and who can be sure it was correct to begin with). Best to be accurate when re-installing.
Yes ser Dock-Harley lean somefhing new every day. make a person feel youg thanks. 👍⭐👍⭐👍⭐👍⭐👍⭐
Right on...Doc
4 years later this doesn't account for the sideways spacing between the heads. Only way you'll get the manifold properly aligned is by mounting the carburetor then it will be aligned in all axis.
I would like to know more about this sideways spacing. Take time to look up a tech named Hiro. He makes a 3-D print of an alignment tool…..Doc
Thanks Doc.
Good Day Doc, just about every person has some type of smart phone and most smart phone has a level app. I use it regularly
Good tip
cool
Is that flange cracked ?
I don’t think so…..Doc
@LowCountryHarleyDavidson not questioning you in any way,tough to see,thank you.
have to remove gas tank?
No, it just makes it easier….Doc
Doc I need help I want my bike to run its done great for 27.000 miles my petcock has the rubber seal that's ripped I replaced the petcock with one that doesn't have the rubber seal now it will not run. It is a 1200 sportster can you please tell me why it won't run without that original peacock?
Is it as simple as your stock petcock had a very small hose connected to the back, this is a vacuum operated on/off. does the new petcock have this? if not then is the original hose open?...Doc
Doc.... I think the tool is called inclinometer?
Yes, this is an inclinometer as the pointer is attached to a weight which will automatically remain at vertical. Setting up the unit to the air cleaner mounts then rotating the scale to line up the pointer with zero will then show how many degrees the manifold needs to be adjusted to bring it back to zero when you move it to the manifold flange. Well spotted! 👍
Is the factory carb on an 05 fxdl a 40mm CV carb?
yes.
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson thought so. Thanks!
I have done this job on carburetor and efi systems. It is a royal PITA! Harley even makes an alignment tool which is suppose to make the job easier. It is junk and didn't help at all, returned it.
Can only imagine other inconsistent installations - intentional, or based on ignorance or both -
