S&S carburetor EASY WAY to CLEAN and REBUILD Super E & G

Another easy job that you can do yourself and save a ton of $$

[@Jackapoo1]

Outstanding video. Thank you for not having stupid background music just straight instruction. my favorite channel now👍👍👍Thank you🙏🏻

[@chrisnichols9915]

Thanks this helped me tremendously. So glad I did not just start removing the whole carb from my bike as that would have been an unneeded headache. I was a little nervous about tearing into mine, but after watching your video, was fully confident I could do this. Got my bike back up and running great within the hour! Great video, very informative. Turned what for me was a daunting task into a "piece of cake." Thanks Again!!!

[@carlwinwindom6076]

The best KZbin tutorial I've ever seen!

[@josephgangelhoff9775]

Thanks for a great simple explanation on cleaning an S&S carburetor

[@dennisp1821]

Absolute one of the best instructional videos I've seen. My recent American Ironhorse Legend purchase (which had sat for numerous months) had sediment when I drained the fuel filter and carb. I replaced the fuel filter but wanted to explore the S&S Carb so this video was super helpful for me to take the next steps of basic cleaning. I'm not a mechanic but I know just enough to get me in trouble 🤣🤣). The S&S 111 engine and carb is new to me so SUPER THXXXX... A++++++++++++ 👍👍💪💪

[@thecentralscrutinizer5105]

great video, may I suggest when blowing the main & idle jets w/ carb spray, you plug up one end of the jet w/ a finger, so the spray will now go through and wash out those tiny venturi holes on the sides ;) PS: Ohhh, and the intermediate jet as well ;)

[@markpachowicz8403]

Thanks for sharing, I took the entire carb off my wife's bike yesterday and put it back together with zero experience and it's running like new, well, it runs like an 81 shovel head!

[@mattpalmer8058]

Outstanding video. Got my wife's 2005 Fat Boy running like new again, in less than an hour. Accelerator pump pushrod was gummed up and stuck. Only minor difference in my setup is that there is a breather tube feeding into the filter backing. Otherwise this was perfect. Thanks for the instruction.

[@highendevo7206]

Thanks for the Great video Man, I'm not a carb man, but watching step by step I did it, with no problems Thanks again Bro

[@glsandlin2222]

Great Video. Lots of good detail and the fast forward thru the less technical area was appreciated. Helped me out of an accelerator pump assembly that the S&S drawing was not clear on.

[@thomassmith5349]

great how to video, no BS, clear step by step explanation, and great videography showing closeups where needed.

[@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs]

Thanks brother! Means a lot to get a good feedback like yours! Hope you will subscribe ... maybe I will have more useful stuff for you in the future

[@michaelmontgomery3730]

Thank you for the video, easy to follow, I parked it cause I work a ton of hours and don't have much time to ride and now its running rough and ran perfectly when I parked it.

[@kristjanpiirsalu6594]

Thanks! I have been riding electronic injected bikes, now i bought one with carb and this video was really helpful!

[@robroykuziw]

Thank you thank you Thank you very much for this video that was made years ago. I think I am mechanical and I have never had the chance to rebuild a carb but your instruction and the video were perfect. My 1996 HD Dyna Wide Glide has never run better with my S&S carb. Thanks you again. You should show others how to make a how to video. Well Done my friend.

[@barrytatar3724]

Thanks!!! Great video! Got my old Sportster running good as new! I hasn't been running in a couple years and all it needed was a new battery and your excellent advice!

[@danielemory82]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful to me.

[@guitarcanada]

Thanks!!!!!!! - Unbelievably helpful video. This really helped me get a 1988 softail with a race built 98 inch motor running today that hadn't ran in over 17 years. Unfortunately, I went and lost the small o ring you mention to be careful with (Ejector Nozzle O-ring) in the cleaning process. lol. It is S&S part #50-8096 - A local shop had one -its is a silicone "006" O-ring with dimensions .125" I.D. x .250" O.D. ( just in case anyone else has this problem and doesn't want to wait for S&S replacements-they want to sell you 10 at a time as well!). Figured I'd throw new O-rings in the accelerator pump as well- they are a silicone "009" O-ring with dimensions 2.187" I.D. x 3.437" O.D. This video is the epitome of why I love youtube-keep up the great work!

Hey, thanks for sharing. Great step by step instructions with tips and precautions. One thing I noticed, the price on that parts cleaner in a can has doubled since the video was made.

ABSOLUTE AMAZEBALLS!! Dude with the Latino accent! You are the MAN! Thank you SO much for this video. I've got exactly the same carburator on my old HD Big Twin and I thought I had run all the gas out of it before I stored it. NOT! I didn't get it all. But now, I've got it all solved, AGAIN thanks to YOU!

[@enthusiastm]

Excellent video for anyone with an S&S Super. Only thing I would add is to be very very careful that you don’t drop the bowl screws because they can be difficult to find if you do lol.

[@EZEades]

awesome vid man. thank you. certified car tech here but love tips and tricks...

[@MrGliderider55]

looks like a little clean up to get ya back on the road and thats ok,, if your going thatfar at the house you should just take it apart soak it, strip it, , blow everything out with compressed air, new soft kit and ..always set the float level per,specs

[@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs]

You have only 2 jets. Main and idle jet. As long as your bike was running correctly and the reason for taking it apart is that it was sitting and now it's running bad you don't need to mess with the Jets you just need to go through the cleaning procedure as you see in the video if you need to get the bike running richer or leaner or if you have any kind of performance issues that's another subject

[@stich6406]

I have a 2008 Big Dog Mastiff S and S 117 with the Super G carb. The bike has sat the whole winter and when it was time to start riding I started it up and rode it about 20 miles. Came home and parked it. Walked back up to it about an hour later and I had gas dripping from my overflow tube. I watched your video and put everything back together and started the bike up and it ran fine, But the same shit.... When I am running at idle I have now overflow, but when I shut off the engine it starts dripping out of that tube...... My float was actuating just fine and I basically set it up just like you did in your video, but still leaking gas out my over flow tube with the valve from the tank to the carb on..... Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

[@peteosinga8845]

@@stich6406 check the float needle and seat probably goo or something not allowing proper seat

[@Jeff82556]

07:10 Berryman Chem-Dip is certainly NOT under $20 anymore. Lowest price at Walmart or Amazon is $33.75 plus tax. ($40 at O'Reilly's)

[@chazzcapone.]

Let’s check back in another five years and see what’s the cost then!! Oughta be fun

Awesome video man! Just did it and everything came out super clean! Problem is now I have an overflow problem coming out from the overflow line. I just ordered a rebuild kit since the o rings and the gasket seemed a little brittle from sitting for 13 years but damn great instructional video!

[@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs]

The reason why it's flooding is most likely or float needle ... also the float seat where's the needle sits might be dirty and will need to be cleaned once you get the rebuild kit you should be good to go... Thank you for your interest and please subscribe it will help me out 😊

Great video- Thank you, sir!

[@Tallgeorge]

Thanks for this video!

[@rcanoli99]

Great video, thank you. btw the float height should be 1/8" to 3/16" below the gasket surface. See page 14 of the following .pdf it explains the procedure and shows a picture of how to measure it. www.sscycle.com/docs/default-source/instruction-sheets/510-0251_super_eg_series_shorty_carbs.pdf?sfvrsn=2 Also, he didn't mention it but make sure you install the gasket between the backplate and the carburetor. The rebuild kit comes with one and it's obvious where it goes. Thanks again for an excellent tutorial - looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

Hello, I just did this process yesterday and when I started my motorcycle there was a leak coming out of the overflow house at the bottom. What did I do wrong? Thanks for the video very easy to follow

[@peteosinga8845]

Some thing with the float, probably not seated or clogged with gook

[@tracycollins3241]

Awesome video....just what I needed!

[@bigfattwin]

Awesome video gave me the motivation I needed.

[@tmarx88]

Great video... I would like to point out though that what you called the "choke" is not the choke. Its a "Fuel Enhancer" and if you leave it on after starting your bike too long you will foul plugs. Its not a choke. Just wanted to share that. Thanks for the video tho.

[@frnktdmn1937]

Yes, thanks for that observ Choke restricts air intake to enrich the air/fuel mixture for starting. S&S "enricher" increases fuel to air mix.

Just curious as to why you didn't assemble the carb before bolting it back onto the motor?

[@thrn100]

Good video challenge excepted I will give it a try.

[@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs]

That's great!!! Let me know how it goes

[@MrHornm12]

Thanks, just watched this step by step and did my own. My worry is the kit i had didnt have a new float. How do you adjust the float as you state in the video

[@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs]

There is no reason to replace the actual float....only the float needle. If you go back to the video you will see the portion where I am talking about the float level. Just get it to the same distance as you see there from the top edge of the float bowl by carefully bending the metal tong on the float. 99% of the time its right on the money...If the bike is running good now, leave it alone...thanks for watching and for the interest!!!

[@61soldiergirl]

One question. So if bike was running fine but just needed cleaning from sitting, I shouldn’t need to adjust the gas or air or accelerater right? Thanks for any reply

[@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs]

You should be fine without messing with the adjustments...but it's very easy to adjust...I will make one video on it soon...thanks for your interest and please subscribe to help me out 👍

[@halmorse5879]

I took one apart as such...I noticed the blue O ring was missing....would any small O ring work? what happens if I leave it off?

[@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs]

Any fuel resistant o-ring will work... It seals the fuel from the bowl so it won't get up around it to the intake.

[@stevil.]

Thank you, so much ,

[@bloodbatteries4797]

I set my idel and it's good two days later my idel rpm has drop .....what can be wrong

[@peteosinga8845]

Check tightness of all parts, replace idle spring, check for air leaks

[@millermatic140]

Not greatest at carbs. So my super E shorty the needle tip seemed clogged. When I pull the throttle I noticed the spray of gas coming out the needle seemed very weak. I managed to get a small bent brush. Now it seems to spray better. Could that have also caused my bike to idle and backfire? It’s a 90 sportster 883 and put on 8.8 plug wires but it backfires while idling. I haven’t tried turning it back on because it’s late and don’t want to piss the neighborhood off haha. Could a clogged needle cause bad idle or is this separate from throttle?

[@frnktdmn1937]

Could be leaking intake manifold
