[@strongdelusion9442]

Just did this 10 minutes ago after watching video, and it worked flawlessly! Ran up to Home Depot grabbed the last 1/4 NC tap, 1 1/2 inch long, 1/4 NC bolt, washer and nut to match and done! 20 minutes, I used paper towel to catch the filings and that worked good!
Thanks for the tips!

[@pacificdevelopment6094]

It work flawless, thanks!!!!!! Took me 15 minutes and was ready to ride. Added grease to the paper towel all showings adhere to the stopper

[@dogchicken]

Thanks for the video. I used grease on the tap and put a little grease in the hole instead of cotton and it lubricates the tap as well as catching all the shavings.

[@boomerguy9935]

I've watched several videos on this and this procedure along with the filming and describing the procedure is by far the best. I have my new fuel inlet elbow on the way and I already have the tools. Thanks!

[@GyroGerald]

Thanks for the positive review of my video and be careful not to allow shavings into the carburetor. Have a nice day and check out the gyro videos, gyros are like flying motorcycles

[@craigdoherty2974]

I just take the carb to my 4 inch bench vice and twist it back and forth while pulling. Install the new one the same way. No filings or crap to be left behind in the carb and takes less time

[@ChuckMabrey]

Yes, tap and use a bolt to pull the old inlet and a large "C" clamp to seat the new, drag specialties, all brass inlet. It worked! Thanks!

[@dmassarone1955]

A video is worth a million words. I've read about this technique and even done it on other things in the past however: refresher (video) courses are the best. GREAT VID and thanks!!!

[@theeastman9136]

Great method and simple too; freezing the brass fitting before pressing also makes it easier. Thank you.

[@samwalters3058]

I'm loving the idea of leaving the carb on the bike. Thanks brother. Mine ain't leaking yet but I can see a crack forming. So gonna get everything I need to fix it and laugh at it when it starts leaking!!

[@bmkhudson]

Thanks for the content t shirt tip, worked perfectly

[@stevex6779]

CHEERS Gerald.... awesome tip used this method this afternoon very pleased with how successful & easy it was.. big Thanx.. SteveX...

[@Patiboke]

Thank you GyroGerald, this video was exactly what I needed!

[@GyroGerald]

Patrick Thibaut glad it could help you fix your problems

[@stevens9762]

Thank you so much, what a great video,worked PERFECT.

[@martinclark8162]

Genius lateral thinking, tough sucker - stripped my first nut, had run 2 nuts together to pull it out. An all brass replacement elbow is the go. Another post suggested a dab of Loctite on the brass as it's pushed in - makes sense. Cheers from Aus'.

[@Wiwewee]

Worked for me. Thanks for the tips from Finland

[@GyroGerald]

Oh super cool glad it was helpful for you, neat to hear someone that far away was able to use the info

[@justsurf3328]

I used this method. I did put grease on the t-shirt before putting it in. It works.

[@nathanielvigeant]

Great tutorial! Concise and to the point. Thank you!

[@justsurf3328]

Thanks for the video. I'm going to try it. I'll probably use some grease also, as I have scoped out the comments, and think it makes sense to use it.

[@mikeburbank2856]

channel lock 85 pliers are another solution. worked for me

[@jean-marcdautry2642]

Thanks a lot , Hi from France .

[@GyroGerald]

Glad it could help you

[@davesnodgrass2074]

Put grease on the tap which will help collect the shavings

[@kellyharold7974]

Worked great! Thanks for the video!

[@nickdulak1837]

Y'all saved my day!

[@austenabel]

Genius ! Worked great!

[@dmitrilebedev9983]

Thank you for help Bro!

[@racergamer210]

I pushed the cotton to far in and can’t get it out. Any tips

[@alexrobinson4702]

Yeah.. skip right over the only part I needed to see.. ty

[@wulfclaw4921]

Thanks a bunch !
You also could leave the brass in and once you make threads add a piece to hook from fuel line to it, right ?
Thanks for the tip !

[@northernspur6282]

Beautiful Heritage you got there Mate what year is it and is that paint color stock ?
Thanks

[@nickdulak1837]

Thanks bro

[@rainbowspringsirrigation1519]

Just did this and it worked awsome but I just thought, can you just thread an elbow into the tapped fitting with out removing it? The only problem I can think of is that the inlet hole will be to small and not allow enough gas under wot causing a lean situation? Can any one comment ?

[@samwalters3058]

The shavings from tapping the brass would be hard to keep out the carb.

[@bradleycline3683]

where is the brass fitting from?

[@ikay2102]

Good to know.

[@Milerhighlife2011]

Why do I get the brass fuel inlet?

[@gerritvercauuteren]

Where can I get a new brass inlet elbow ?

[@huntingharleysgermany1937]

thx man!

[@GyroGerald]

Hunting Harley ́s Germany my pleasure

[@bikerdick9425]

Where did you get that horn? I NEED one of those!

[@dmassarone1955]

Do a search for "Vintage Harley Horn". You'll find tons of resources. From new original to aftermarkets. Also Old vintage stocks from others. They usually come in 2 pieces. Horn is mounted on the left side (kind of matching the round air cleaner cover) and mounted from the heads (other years' my be different, but I'm sure not by much), then crosses over to the right side between the cylinders and coming down and forward with the "trumpet" part which mounts to the the block. Mine is rock solid and I've bought it used 43 years ago. (doesn't look as pretty as this one but works great. You can even "tune" them (like all "real" horns. Higher and/ lower pitch...pretty cool).
