CARB OPERATION
1. Carburetor Starting Procedure
S&S® Super E carburetors do not have a conventional choke. Instead, a mixture enrichment/fast idle device is used for starting and engine warm-ups.
The enrichment device utilizes separate air and fuel pickup passageways and is engaged by pulling fast idle level upward. See Picture 28. Super
E carburetors also feature an accelerator pump which is actuated by quick throttle movements at partial throttle openings and can be used as an
additional starting aid.

ENRICHMENT DEVICE NOTES:

Enrichment/fast idle pickup tube located directly below fast idle plunger is pressed into carburetor body and must not be removed.

See Picture 29.

Removal of enrichment/fast idle pickup tube from carburetor body may cause irreversible damage to carburetor.

Plunger nut, plunger spring, and plunger, may be removed for cleaning purposes.

If air cleaner backplate is removed, be sure fast idle lever and enrichment plunger are engaged properly when backplate is reinstalled.

See Picture 17.

S&S® enrichment system operates on manifold vacuum. If throttle is opened while starting engine, vacuum will be reduced and enrichment system will

not function normally.
