5- Install Carb
A- Check idle mixture and idle speed screw settings.
1- Check setting of idle mixture screw on top of carb body. See Picture 15. Turn screw clockwise to close screw, counting number of turns
to fully closed position - setting should be 11⁄2 turns. Reset by turning screw counterclockwise to 11⁄2 turns open. After engine is started,
screw must be reset as explained in "Adjusting Idle Mixture" section of instructions.
NOTE: Turn idle mixture screw in only far enough to contact seat. Do not over tighten.
Over tightening idle mixture screw may cause irreversible damage to carburetor body.
2- Check setting of idle speed adjusting screw. See Picture 16. Turn screw counterclockwise until it no longer contacts throttle linkage
spool. Next, turn screw clockwise until it just contacts spool. Then turn additional 1⁄2 turn clockwise to slightly open throttle plate.
B- Install throttle cables on carburetor.
1- Install the proper throttle cable guide on the carburetor.
2- Install opening side throttle cable barrel fitting and throttle cable in throttle linkage and appropriate side of throttle cable housing
bracket. Opening side cable housing outside diameter is smaller and measures .190".
3- Repeat step 2 for closing side throttle cable. Closing side cable has a spring around inner cable wire. See Picture 17.
4- Apply drop of Loctite® 242 or equivalent to threads of cable bracket screw and reinstall bracket on carburetor.
C- Install carb on manifold
1- Bolt carb and insulator block to intake manifold using two 3⁄8"-16 socket cap screws provided in kit. (O-ring side of block faces manifold.)
Most carb kits for big twins include two 3⁄8"-16 x 11⁄4" socket cap screws. Knuckle/pan and 1983-’84 shovel kits include one 11⁄4" screw and
one 13⁄8" screw. The 13⁄8" screw is longer to compensate for thickness of support bracket for pan/knuckle or for 1983-’84 shovel engines)
and must go in bottom hole. Kits for Harley-Davidson® Evolution® Sportster® models sold after 6-15-01 contain a thicker (3⁄8") insulator
block and two 3⁄8"-16 x 13⁄8" socket cap screws to compensate for the additional thickness of the spacer block. (See important note below
and caution concerning insulator block.)
NOTE: If insulator block is not installed, manifold bolts supplied in kit will be too long and may bottom in holes. Shorter manifold bolts must be used if
insulator block is not installed.
