1982 Harley Davidson FXR Shovelhead First Start HD 1080p

With a charged battery, cleaned carb and accessory fuel bottle, it's time to try and start this FXR. I did run the carburetor through a few ultrasonic washes and it still needed to be cleaned. The float doesn't work well and needs to be replaced. But I was able to get the old gal to start!

Well that sounds pretty good from here

Sure does sound pretty good

Now I'm thinking that's a stock motor but I'm just wondering what main Jet and intermediate jet did you put in there.. and did you do anything with the are bleed jet ....

[@Rockeys_Chop_Shop]

It’s a stock 80” with STD cases. The jets in the carb, I’m not totally sure and honestly didn’t check. The carb came off of an 80” Shovelhead but it’s been sitting for a long time

Don't you want another rider? You said you will part it out. It's not that bad is it? I think it's a keeper.
