WARNING
THROTTLE REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: S&S Super E and G carburetors require the use of a two cable, pull open - pull closed throttle assembly. All 1980 and earlier stock H-D® models
equipped with a single cable throttle mechanism must be converted to the two cable, pull open-pull closed type. S&S offers these throttle assemblies but
does not include them with any carburetor kit because of the multitude of chassis designs and fitment requirements.
Single, braided wire cable throttle mechanisms cannot mechanically close the throttle. If throttle inadvertently sticks in open position,
loss of control of motorcycle and personal injury to operator or others may result.
1980 and Earlier Motorcycles
All stock chassis 1980 and earlier, or any motorcycle equipped with single cable throttle system must be converted to a two cable system. Throttle
assembly kits may be ordered separately. See descriptions below.
1981 to Present Big Twin Models
Stock big twin models from 1981 to 1989 have two cable throttle system designed for stock, butterfly type carburetors. Big twins from 1990 to
present have a two cable throttle system designed for the stock, constant velocity (CV) type carburetor. In spite of the differences in throttle cables
for these year groups, stock throttle cables on all 1981 to present big twin models can be installed on the S&S Super E or G throttle linkage with no
cable modification. S&S Super E and G carb kits for 1936 to 1989 big twins contain a throttle cable guide designed for butterfly type throttle cables,
and kits for 1990 and later big twins contain a taller throttle cable guide designed for CV type throttle cables. See Picture 2. The two throttle cable
guides are interchangeable on the carburetor body, and can be changed very easily to update older carburetors or to accommodate custom throttle
cables which are not stock for a particular year chassis.
1981 to Present Harley-Davidson® Sportster® Models
Stock Sportster models from 1981 to 1987 have two cable throttle system designed for butterfly type carburetors. 1988 to present models have
a two cable throttle system designed for use with the stock constant velocity (CV) type carburetor. A tall guide should be used on 1990-'06
carbureted Harley-Davidson® Sportster® models. See S&S Throttle Cable Application Chart (Chart 1).
