  • This is the Shovelhead engine I went over for the Guys over at Turner Customs. They installed it. It started right up, and with no miles or changes, it sounds like this.

    my bike is an 1982 wide glide. custom build on a paughco frame. its got old school baffled fishtail pipes and an andrews cam and i just can't seem to work out the super g. i know i should probably be running super e, but the super g was what was there when i bought it. running a .070 mainjet and im honestly not sure of the intermediate jet size. sometimes it coughs and backfires, sometimes white smoke and sometimes black smoke. it seems the smallest tweaks make it jump from lean to rich and the accelerator pump is another monster all together. this is my first shovel and also my first s&s carb so any help is very much apreciated. i live in alabama so the weather is always moderate.
