When you set up make sure warm oup

Will do

I swapped a CV on my 80 iron and had that low end roughness till I completely changes my thinking about jets... low end jetting up to a 52 and that carb became a dream FYI not sure why the irons wanted more but it became smooth ride

Mine ran fine with the Super E on an 070 jet and 310 intermediate, but wouldn't tick over for shit. Bumping it up to 072 cured that so yeah, they do like their juice.

Hey bit late to this party, but was wondering if you used the original inlet manifold for the (genuine) S&S or had to buy another manifold? Looking to upgrade my dying Keihin butterfly carb on my 82 ironhead and I might go the eye wateringly expensive S&S route, but am having trouble verifying (even from the suppliers Hogparts) as to whether I need a new matching manifold or not - I have doubts as to whether the throat sizes are compatible 🤔

[@ImminghamIronhead]

It does physically fit. I think there's a hole size difference, but it runs great as is. I'd try an adapter manifold, but I've never seen one.
