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!!!

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 ;)
@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs6 жыл бұрын
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

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.

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!

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?

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!

@DoityourselfMotorcyclerepairs4 жыл бұрын
The way you set the carburetor is as follows....Start the bike and get it to idle without the choke...turn the screw all the way on the right (opposite side from the Throttle cables) all the way clockwise. Then start turning the brass middle screw ( air /gas mixture) both ways to find the smoothest and fastest sounding idle...then lower the idle some ( with the Left screw) to narrow the range when the engine sounds the fastest. When you get there only thing left is to turn the right side screw back counter clockwise to adjust the ACC. pump. It is usually about 2.5 turns but the idea is the smallest amount of turns while the bike does not have a flat spot while rapidly twisting the throttle to accelerate. Hope this was helpful and please subscribe to help me out...thanks brother

Your float needle is stuck because the motorcycle was sitting and it's gummed up from the old gas. Follow my video and you will fix your problem easily. I would also recommend replacing the fuel line... you can buy that in auto parts store and install inline fuel filter between the gas tank and the carburetor...also inspect the gas tank inside to make sure it's clean. Because if the gas tank is nasty it will screw up the carburetor again. Thank you for your interest and please subscribe to help me out 😊

@whiterabbit2016 жыл бұрын
Sure you can pull the carb but for a quick clean up you shouldn't have to. This nasty ethanol gas leaves a mess in the lower half of the carb if it sets for just a short amount of time and a bowl and jet cleaning usually gets you up and running again. If you want to pull the throttle cables, mounting bolts to give the carb a total cleaning/rebuild go right ahead, for me it's time wasted. I have 3 old Harleys with S&S's and every 3 yrs I have to clean them just like in the video. If I let that piss ethanol gas set in one over the winter then it's practically mandatory to have to clean it out to get it to run come spring time.
