WARNING
If insulator block is not installed, lower manifold bolt may damage carburetor bowl causing possible gasoline leak.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke around gasoline. Gasoline fumes are toxic when
inhaled. Any gasoline leak or spill constitutes a health and fire hazard.
D- Adjust throttle cables
1- Turn threaded throttle cable adjusters to remove excessive freeplay.
2- Test throttle to insure that it opens and closes freely. Turn handlebars to extreme left and open and close throttle, then turn bars to
extreme right and open and close throttle. If throttle binds, loosen cable adjusters to put more freeplay in cables. Tighten adjusting
screw locknuts after making final adjustments.
NOTE: Throttle must not bind and must snap shut to fully closed position when released.
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.
E- Slip fuel overflow hose onto fitting on carb bowl and neatly route behind pushrod tubes. On a big twin model, hose should go toward back
of engine. On a Harley-Davidson® Sportster® model, hose should go toward front of engine. Exit end of overflow hose must extend down
below engine and away from exhaust pipes. See Pictures 18 and 19
Overflow hose must not contact hot surface such as exhaust pipe where it could melt and catch fire.
F- Slip hose clamp over end of fuel line. Apply thin coat of oil to carb fuel inlet fitting and slip end of fuel line on fitting. Position fuel line in
such a way as to avoid contact with cylinders and other hot engine parts. Tighten hose clamp. Slip protective fuel line covering over fuel
line and position where contact with engine parts could occur. On models equipped with fuel line support guide, use guide if possible.
Connect other end of fuel line to gas tank petcock using hose clamp provided.
NOTE: Some early Super E and G carbs were equipped with a banjo style swivel fuel inlet. This banjo inlet is no longer available. If this early swivel inlet
requires repair, it must be replaced with either a straight inlet, o-ring, and 90° fuel line or current production 360° swivel inlet with 90° inlet and a straight
fuel line. See carburetor parts list and line drawing on pages 26 and 27.
Fuel line must be clamped securely and not contact hot surfaces such as exhaust pipes where it could melt and catch fire.
