GENERAL INFORMATION NOTES:
Carburetor body has six drilled passages that are permanently sealed with drive plugs.
•
Removal of these plugs may cause irreversible damage to carburetor.
To insure proper seal so needle completely shuts off fuel supply entering bowl, float hinge, needle lift and needle must work freely and not bind. Float must
•
not contact bowl gasket. If problem is suspected, remove bowl and check float movement. If obvious misalignment, binding or sticking occurs, remove,
straighten and reinstall to obtain free movement. Reset float level and double check for free movement. To check, remove bowl (not accelerator pump
cap) and raise float until needle is in closed position and spring in top of needle is compressed. The top of the float opposite the needle and seat assembly
should be 1⁄8" to 3⁄16" below the bowl gasket surface. Float must not contact bowl gasket. See cut away bowl in Picture 32.
When motorcycle is not running, fuel shutoff valve should always be turned off to prevent possible leakage should needle and seat not seal completely.
•
Gasoline leaking past inlet needle may flood engine causing contamination of oil supply and damage to engine.
Any gasoline leak constitutes a fire and health hazard.
Throttle plate and throttle shaft should be checked annually for signs of wear. Replace if necessary. If carburetor body throttle shaft bushings are worn,
•
carburetor must be returned to S&S® for repair. If throttle plate is removed, be sure to reinstall correctly. Beveled edges of plate must fit flat against
carburetor throat.
If accelerator pump cap is removed, lift cap slowly so small spring, checkballs, and o-rings are not lost.
