S&S Cycle Super E and G Series Shorty Carburetors - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
S&S® Super E and G Shorty carburetors are designed for and Harley-Davidson® big twin and Sportster® models as well as other American v-twin
engines. They are butterfly type carburetors with fully adjustable idle mixture and changeable air bleed and mid range and high speed jets. Both
carburetors also feature an adjustable accelerator pump and variable enrichment/fast idle device for improved throttle response, engine starting
and warm ups.
The Super E has a 17⁄8" (47.6mm) bore and 19⁄16" (39.6mm) venturi. It is identified by an "E" cast into the throttle linkage side of the body below the
letters "S&S SUPER". The Super E is recommended for use on any displacement big twin or Sportster.
NOTE: Because S&S carburetors are significantly larger than OEM units, unmodified, small displacement engines such as 883 and ironhead Sportster
models may experience sluggish low speed response when equipped with S&S carburetors. This can often be minimized with careful tuning.
The Super G has a 21⁄16" (52.3mm) bore and 3⁄4" (44.5mm) venturi. It is identified by a "G" cast into the carb body. See Picture 1. The Super G is
recommended for use on modified engines of 100 cubic inches or more. While both carburetors can be made to work on most engines, the Super G
is not recommended for small, low compression engines. If there is doubt as to which carburetor to use, S&S suggests the Super E.
IMPORTANT NOTE - Recommended for Racing Only.
S&S carburetors are not legal for use in California on motor vehicles operated on public highways or in other states where similar pollution laws
apply. The user shall determine the suitability of the product for his or her use and shall assume all risk and liability in connection therewith.

CHROME PLATING THE CARBURETOR
NOTE: S&S does not recommend chrome plating the Super E or G carburetor. Preparation requires polishing with abrasive buffing compounds. These
materials invariably plug air and/or fuel passages and other orifices regardless of precautions taken.
The chrome plating process can alter critical operating tolerances in several areas. Additionally, chrome may obstruct fuel passages,
possibly altering the fuel mixture and causing engine damage. All manufacturer warranties become void if any part of the carburetor is
polished, chrome plated or otherwise altered.
