You are just plain fun to listen to as you present the preferred way and the reality. I have been doing maintenance and repairs on my bikes and other vehicles for 50 years, learning as I go, you are the most entertaining 'teacher' I ever had, thanks! I have an 'E' on my enhanced performance Panhead with a ThunderJet, now I understand how it works. I had it apart a couple of years ago, missed a couple of details (idle circuit), it hasn't idled right, it is coming back off. I have a 'B' on a 1980 74" stroker Sportster that I bought at an estate sale with very limited history. I am going through it checking, lubricating, re-wiring and correcting problems. It is a learning experience as I have no knowledge about Sportsters, just shop and parts manuals and what I can find on the net. My 'B' looks as crusty as the one you did, gives me hope. I have been binging on your channel tonight, near the end of the newer Sporty with the bad stator, 4 am I'm calling it a night, I will be back on your channel tomorrow. I subscribed a while ago but with over 650 subscriptions it takes awhile to make the circuit, lots of different interests. Thanks for your informative help.
OK my man, I got this thing back together and I'm heading out to the garage to put back on the bike.....if I'm not back swearing in a few minutes I'm in the wind !
@@KnobleMoto It leaked at first but after taking the accelerator pump back apart and friggin with it she runs like a bear. Thanks again for the walkthrough.
Did you know you gave me the information I was looking for that isn't included in any S&S video, info sheet, and forum? The winding of the spring was literally kicking my a.. because nobody said it would have to be "wound" so I couldn't figure out the springs. Thanks very much!
The e is for under 100 cubic inch motor and the g is for 100 cubic inch and up I had a e on my softail with a S&S 107 super sidewinder engine and it wouldn’t do what I wanted got the bigger S&S super g and it runs perfect I didn’t know the difference till I contacted S&S and they said under 100 e 100 and over g
at about 45 mins, you had an issue with your accelerator pump screw. Have you had this issue since? i ask because i removed my bowl to check the jets, and noticed there was some fuel around that seal, so i took it off. That same screw didnt seem like it was threaded at all, I thought maybe it was crossed or broken. But, if I remove all the parts, and try to screw that screw in again, it catches thread. when i put the stuff back together, it doesn't want to catch a thread.
The spring tension on the linkage, may be making it go crooked. Try and hold the spring back and thread it in, then if it still won't go, I would replace the screw.
You know why those butterfly bolts are so much of a pain in the ass to take out of carburetor because if you look on the other side of them they usually tell you to take a chisel and put an x pattern in the boat when it goes through the carburetor so it doesn't come out and end up in your engine if you want to get them out the easy way you take a drill bit and drill the screw from the opposite direction until it releases
I've an Indian Scout 2003 with an SS engine ans a ss suoer E carb in it that stalls frequently. I just realized one of those ballbearings is missing... Do you think that is causing the problem? Thanks a lot.
Good morning , could you tell me why my candles are oily and black on my shovelhead, I have a 0.72 in the main jet and a 0.295 in the secondary jet THANKS
@@richardgrognard6394 try a .070. Also check the S&S RUclips for tuning info. You need to make sure your accelerator pump is turned off before you tune the carb. Or you will end up chaining your tail.

You are very welcome. I am genuinely glad you enjoy the content and I am flattered that you enjoy it so much.
The screw that is removed for the air vent for the Float is for aftermarket air cleaners, as some have a port in the back plate and some do not.
Im not sure about that. It looks like it goes into the main bleed passage.

Would an ultrasonic cleaner be just as good as the carburetor bath ? Thank you for an excellent video
Absolutely!
It was nice to seen you doing the work, I laughed so loud cause ur way to comment.…👍🖖
😂😂😂😂. Thank you.
Dude, between 1:01:00 and 1:14:41 is blank (no video)??..........Other than that great job.
I have no idea what happened there. I will see if I can fix it. Thank you for letting me know.

Hi...great detailed video.
Question; can I use a Super G rebuilt kit on a Super E carb?
some of the parts will work. The throat and butterfly on the G is larger than the E, so anything related to that will not work.
Thanks...

I didn’t see any marks on those screws, but I know the ones you are talking about.
Hello...
Great job!
What the two little ballbearings do or how they work? Thanks.
Each one is a check valve. They prevent fuel from going one way, while allowing it to go the other.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!!!
Thanks a lot...
Awesome! Thanks I subbed!

There is a good chance that the missing part is causing your problems.
Good morning ,
could you tell me why my candles
are oily and black on my shovelhead, I have a 0.72 in the main jet and a 0.295 in the secondary jet
THANKS
If there is oil, you may have ring or gasket issues.
@@KnobleMoto ça ne vient pas des gicleurs ? she farts and the smoke is black from time to time
@@richardgrognard6394 try a smaller main then. Or turn down the accelerator pump.
@@KnobleMoto ok, I put a 0.70, and a 0.28?

Great carburetors exceot when they leak gas. Which seems to happen a lot. I don't trust the one on my bike anymore.
I have not had that problem with any of them. Float height good?
