Will It Start? Auction Bought 1978 Harley Shovelhead

[@jeffsilver4730]

We watch for the motorcycles yes, but also cause you're a class act. Your respect for the deceased person who once owned this bike and respect you show his family are evidence of that. The shoveled is cool as cool, and your place is awesome, we're all happy for you. Don't forget we like offload machines too, LOL.

It does feel good to bring a bike back to life. I brought my old Triumph chopper back to life a month ago after sitting for 30 years and now ride it to bike nights. Good luck my friend.

[@JJosephS1]

Congrats on the purchase, a truly beautiful shovel and nothing sounds better than a shovel at low rev. Clean that carb and you've got a true treasure!

It sure put a grin on my face when it fired. Good job Jared. It’s fun to watch a good mechanic at his trade.

[@mikeshaffer2950]

Now if my old age🙏 will let me remember all that information to do before I start the, 78 Shovel Low Rider,🤣 when I come for it.

[@rheidtech]

God bless brotherman. His steed will ride again👍.

[@redskool8498]

very kool ... love when old things come back to life .. †

[@drifter421]

Another success, it’s good therapy to get away from the house and bring that shovelhead back to life. I tried to get a 1981 FXS that’s been sitting for 20 years, no luck.

[@richardbruzzese3404]

Beautiful Shovelhead probably one of my favorites love the fat boy wheel in the front beautiful bike

[@timothyputzke1250]

Sweet music. Good to hear the old gal again. I have what started as a 78 FLH. It now resembles a FXWG. Am running belt primary, solid lifters with a high lift cam. I converted it back to points. S & S Super B, which of course doesn't have a accelerator pump. My old bones and the bikes vibration prevent me from taking her on any long distance trips. She's still my preferred ride after 37 years. I had a 1979 Iron head, which I bought new. Didn't ride it much after I got the shovel so I sold it, but now regret doing so. For anything resembling a distance ride I have a 2011 Ultra. Keep up the good work and good luck with the house remodel. It's a lot of work especially when there's not a square corner or level floor to work with.

You just can't mistake that Glub, glub... at least that is how I hear it. haha. Such an iconic sound and such a beautiful bike. Cheers brother.

[@jfrost77hd]

Ouch, you might have a stuck valve or it's to tight...or a hole on your piston 🤔 Best of luck to you buddy!

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

@@jfrost77hd both Pistons have broken rings and the front piston the exhaust valve leaks fluid into the chamber. It's a friend of a friend's bike and it was his father's so I'll do what I can. It's quite sentimental to him. And he just had a heart attack and a stint put in his heart.

[@robertashbrook3157]

Good for you Mr Frost. Sounds excellent. Good luck with it and have a safe ride

[@Bobo-hd6qn]

I had one. Would run great for 4 weeks. Then need adjustment. Then repeat. I loved the sound.

[@jfrost77hd]

Thanks buddy I appreciate the business and support 🙏 👍

[@markdye3056]

Hey! I have the same bike lift that you have. I got mine at Harbor freight tools. There is an upgraded front wheel vice that makes a huge difference. The it is item# 57775 and it costs about $80. Well worth it in my opinion.

[@kimberlygarner2723]

That bike is a real beauty! Congratulations!

[@CavemannCycles]

Always had to run 2 primary gaskets to get mine to seal up nice lol

[@dannpd1955]

Heck yeah. That brings back alot of memories for me. I rode an 81 AMF FLh for years. I sure miss that old bike. Thanks for the time travel. I ordered one of your T shirts yesterday. Great video. Keep up the good work, Im sure enjoying it.

Thanks buddy I appreciate the business and support 🙏 The bike seems real solid I'm stoked about it!

Great sound off that shovel. Good job getting it going again

[@straightpipec6099]

I believe those are echo cans on the mufflers. Cool video. My dad had a 78 FLH from 1978 to 1984. Was a good running bike. With an S&S carb too.

[@biglutherie]

That's a pretty cool bike!

Hey Brother, found your channel a few days ago and really diggin it! You got a lot going on, so don't get overwhelmed. Looking forward to whatever you put up next, but really like the passion you have for the old bikes. Wish you well!

i bought an flh brand new in 1980 and had it for 18 years it was about the same as that except it had electronic ignition and a comfort flex seat and the first year w/o the hinged fender. i miss it but maybe too old now for a bike.

[@pjay4972]

man sure sounds good. another one saved. good job and thanks for another great video.

[@stinde666]

That’s a sweet ride 💪🏻

[@brianminkc]

Its in very nice shape.

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

Great score man. I've been thinking about getting serious, about finding my self a shovel. I've had a long time dream about running back and forth across the country a couple times on a harley. Seeing as how when I was growing up shovels were what everyone had. That's what I always pictured myself riding. I rhino its getting time to accomplish some things I've had on my my mind for decades. Lol I'm happy for ya man. Good job on the find. Hope it serves you well.

[@markjulianoriginalhooli2217]

Run some marvel mystery oil through the fuel

I planned on hanging onto it for alittle while at least but I could probably sell it if you're interested. My contact email is in the description of the video. Thanks for watching!

I just bought a 85 xlx sportster that's in rough shape im hoping to get it back on the road but im haveing trouble with it do you work on bikes for people or just sell them after you fixed them

I'm still getting situated and setup here but I plan to start taking on jobs eventually.

Ill keep you in mind I'm still looking for an old school harley mechanic for some help with this ironhead

Shovel power

How much that set you back?

I bought an 81 XLH 1000 sporster. I cannot get running. Can’t find anyone in my area to help either. No good at all.

I love watching someone who knows zero about S&S carbs. Sumping is normal? But, hey, he got a running bike, running. I was looking for entertainment, by God, I got it.

[@jfrost77hd]

What makes you think I know zero about S&S carbs? Yeah sumping is pretty common, I'm not saying it can't be fixed but a lot will do that if they sit. Got a running bike running? I bought it at an auction not running knowing nothing about it with the inner/outer primary, clutch misc in a box. Glad you're entertained but go troll elsewhere.
