S&S Cycle Super E & G Series Shorty Carburetors for Harley-Davidson Twin Cam 88 Engines - Manual (Page 3)

NOTES
●
Stock cables are not compatible with S&S ® carburetor. Correct cables are available from S&S and other aftermarket suppliers. In
models equipped with fairings, it is usually possible to remove old cables and "snake" new ones into place without removing
fairing. Once cables are adjusted, throttle must operate freely and without binding.
If insulator block is omitted, lower manifold bolt may damage carburetor bowl causing possible gasoline leak.
● If throttle does not return to fully closed position when released, it may inadvertently stick open, causing possible loss of control
of motorcycle and personal injury to operator or others.
● Any gasoline leak or spill constitutes a serious health and fire hazard.

NOTE: Backplate screws supplied with kit have thread locking compound on threads. If screw without thread locking compound is used,

Failure to apply thread locking compound or properly tighten screws may cause screws to loosen and fall into engine, causing
