Hey Doc, thanks for showing how to do this. I used a #7 drill bit inside the old fitting to keep it from collapsing then went at it. Thanks again!!!
Thank you for showing a variety of topics that are relevant to different riders.
I've actually used a large C-clamp to do a roadside install on a friends Sportster.
A good upgrade would be CVPerformance's high flow elbow 5/16-3/8 with their high flow petcock and line. No risk of fuel starvation during hard riding. They also have some high quality needles, jets, emulsion tube, accelerator squirter, and adjustment knobs.
Great information thanks for showing how to do it with out the special tool.
Fantastic video Doc! Great information if I need to replace this fitting on my '94 FXR... Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄
Merry Christmas Chuck…Doc
Thank you sir for all you do for all of us. I really appreciate the videos. Nice vice/press
TAKE A PICTURE! Damn right! I don't care if you're fixing a radio, fridge, washing machine or engine part....TAKE A PICTURE!
Great vids but you should it finish the whole installation video of the brass fuel inlet fitting for the end resort but all in all thanks for the tip 👍
My bad misspelt Result that’s what happens when you’re in covid lockdown and not enough fresh air I miss Riding Lol 😆
Thanks Doc, much appreciated!
Or just put a good carb on the bike. Another case of the factory cutting corners. The brass inlet should have been on there in the first place.
Check out CVPerformance.
Thanks Doc. Expanding my knowledge and abilities.
That looks a big workshop you work in Doc great video👍🇬🇧
This part and service should be free. It was a bad design to begin with.
Jimmy_Jim_Jim_1234, yeah....EVERYTHING, should be free. Right? The company should stand behind a twenty-six year old part. It's not a service. It's an updated part. And how many people still have an original CV carburetor on a Sportster or big twin Evo, anyway? Back then, people ripped them off, and replaced with Mikuni or S&S shorty E carb.
@@PanM8 These people don't actually KNOW anything about what's happening in these videos... they're just here trolling whatever comes up on their feed. They're even whining about why the piece is pressed instead of threaded -- which you and I both know will leak from day one and be a huge pain in the ass... not to mention that that inlet has to be placed at different angles for different applications.
They're clueless.
Good job, Doc.
That Trusk tool is now obsolete. I found it, bought it (about $110) and vendor refunded two days later.
Thanks for the update….Doc
I want that guy at home . Man he good
Why didnt they use brass in the first place....
Wasn’t in the Japanese blue prints🤦♂️….Doc
Doc, I have a 2005 Electra Glide, 95 big bore, and 211 cams, K&N intake, and Reinhardt slip ons, and a CV carb of course. Which pilot jet would you suggest starting out with. I am at sea level here in NC. Thanks a bunch. Having a hard time getting it to idle after starting. After a ride it idles fine just a little higher. Tried turning the idle screw to bring the rpm's to 900 - 1000, but after riding it and stopping at at light, the idle is way too high. I am sitting at about 3 turns out on the adjustment screw. Thanks for the videos and your time on here learning us!!
Are you sure your intake manifold seals are good? A 45 usually does the trick with 2.5 turns our. I also suggest a Dyna jet kit...Doc
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson Thanks a bunch Doc! I have ordered a rebuild kit for the carb, a few bigger jets, and the intake seals. After replacing the seals, I will take your advice and start with a 45 and see how she does. Also, are you talking about the seal from the carb to the manifold, or the seals from the manifold to the cylinders? Probably best to change bot huh! Got it all on order Doc!! God Bless!!
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson Hey Doc, I sprayed carb cleaner around the intake where it seals to the jugs and did not get a rise in the rpms or any change at all. Sounds like the seals are good, but I will put a new carb to intake seal on when I pull it off. Thanks you Sir for your time and knowledge and your videos!!
Great job doc !!!!
will this fit 1988 big twin butterfly carb
Yes. Thanks ~ Doc
Doc , Why isn't it threaded ?
Because that would be the smart thing that Harley could have done.
Isn't it will leak if it was threaded ?
Material of carbs body is brittle and very easy to strip out. Back in day Chevy carbs had screw in fittings for fuel filter. If you did not talk nice and hold your head just right. Threads would cross thread or just strip out after awhile. That's one reason you threw filter away and installed in line one. Ride safe
Would have cost a extra quarter.
Too many models with different fuel inlet directions, and the possibility of fuel leakage past the threads. Thanks ~ Doc
👀👂 👍👍👍👍👍
How much did the MoCo save by making that stupid plastic crap instead of all brass?
My guess is a whole helluva alot! BTW my 1999, Road King still has the plastic inlet 21 years later. I'm just waiting it out now, it's stubborn and won't die...
If that plastic piece makes you angry, you'll LOVE knowing that the carburetor isn't made by HD... it's Japanese...lol Likely a Keihin CV 40mm
@@johnd5398 It does not make me angry. But thanks!
Take 2 use the install tool instead of the vice
👍🏻
Why would a high paid engineer or designer put plastic parts on a carburetor, where so much is going on??
Because a low paid accountant saw he could save money by replacing a brass piece with a plastic one.
@@rgh622 actually that decision was made by some Extremely overpaid executive that needed a bigger bonus
