S&S Cycle Super E and G Series Shorty Carburetors - Manual (Page 15)

15
L- Install air cleaner element and air cleaner cover using three 3⁄4"-20 x 1" mounting screws provided. Insure that element goes around outside
edge of locating tang at 9 o'clock position on backplate. Correctly installed element will remain in place on backplate without support.
Filter element supplied with carb kits for Buell® models is foam type. Beveled vent hose in kits for Buell bikes must rest in notch in backplate
and go between air cleaner element and chromed outer cover. Hose bevel should angle down toward element. See Picture 33.
M- Fill gas tank.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
•
In designing the S&S® Super E and G carbs S&S has made every effort to keep overall assembled length as short as possible. Due to the short installed
length of the carb 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. See Picture 34, below right. 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 carb and manifold as an alternative, or existing air cleaner cover modified to provide 1⁄8" minimum
clearance.
•
Bowl vent screw should be removed for any all-out racing application which includes use of air horn or air cleaner without filter element. Exposed passage
in carb body maintains equal pressure between float bowl and atmosphere. See Picture 35, below left.
•
On any application where air horn is used instead of air cleaner, S&S carb mounting bracket must be used to securely fasten carb to engine. See line
drawing on page 28.
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.
