L. Install air cleaner element, noise reducer, and air cleaner cover.
1. Install three cover mounts and washers on backplate cover supports. Use Loctite® 242 or equivalent on threads. See Picture 26.
2. Install noise reducer on backplate over supports. See Picture 27.
3. Flat side of pleated filter element goes against noise reducer. Insure that element goes around outside edge of locating tang at 9 o'clock
position on backplate. Rounded side of element with S&S® part number goes toward outside. Correctly installed element will remain in
place on backplate without support.
4. Install cover using the three 1⁄4" -20” mounting screws provided.
NOTE: Pleated air filter element supplied in carburetor kits for big twins and Harley-Davidson® Sportster® models goes on dry. Do not apply filter oil to
pleated filter. Foam filter element may be installed dry or foam type filter oil may be applied. Foam filter elements may be washed and reused, but pleated
elements must be replaced when they become dirty or clogged.
M. Fill gas tank.
INSTALLATION NOTES: In designing the S&S® Super E carburetor S&S has made every effort to keep overall assembled length as short as possible. Due to
the short installed length of the carburetor assembly, the air cleaner cover may contact the gas tank of four-speed shovelhead chassis. In such instances
an optional chromed, notched cover that will provide additional clearance can be ordered. If a new, undamaged Super E/G cover is shipped to S&S
prepaid, it will be exchanged for the difference in cover prices. See your authorized S&S dealer for this service.
An optional 1" spacer block can be installed between carburetor and manifold as an alternative, or existing air cleaner cover modified to provide 1⁄8"
minimum clearance.
Improperly mounted carburetor may loosen from engine resulting in gas or air leaks, poor performance and possible damage to
carburetor or other components.
Any gasoline leak represents a potential health and fire hazard.
