    Might i suggest, an intake spacer with 2 bolts on one side, and a short rubber intake boot with proper clamp bands next time before testing? That way you can lever the carb, and get float level correct and jetting correct for that engine👍
    Its a great idea though

      For sure! Gonna get different oil lines and a Branch intake manifold.
      With that being said there are no jets in the carb

    I'm interested in seeing where this goes. Definitely need to level the carb, or the float will not operate properly. Good luck!

      For sure! Wanted to see if I could get the bike to fire before I went further. Gonna get an old Branch manifold

    Very Interesting video. But I will stick with the Mikuni 38 VM Carb on my 83 FXWG.

    You’d think a Dr would know to actually MOUNT a device that meters fuel before starting it up…

      Legitimate comment. At the same time I didn’t feel like spending the money on the oil lines I like if the bike wouldn’t fire. Since I have past experience with the carb on a motocross bike I knew I’d be able to start it with it in the position so I could get an idea if it worked or not. Looks like I achieved what I was going for so…GO ME!

    carb needs to be leveled.

    • @drmikemerkt

      Correct, it will be level once I actually use it, just wanted to see if the bike would actually start with it before going any further
