NOTE – Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding with
installation. Under no circumstances attempt to install the new fuel inlet by
screwing it into the bowl without removing the bowl from the carburetor.
It is very likely that the needle will not seat correctly and a gasoline leak
could result

WARNING

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.

Installations Steps

1. Turn off the fuel valve or petcock and drain the fuel bowl.

2. Remove the fuel bowl from the carburetor. This can be done with

the carburetor installed on the motorcycle, but may be easier if
the carb has been removed from the engine. There are three short
screws and one long screw that must be removed in order to
remove the bowl. See Picture 1.

3. Remove the panhead screw that secures the float-retaining pin in

the bowl. Remove the float and fuel needle assembly. See Picture 2.

4. Clean the gasket surfaces of both the carburetor body and the

fuel bowl, and remove the small o-ring from the accelerator pump
ejector nozzle. Blow out the bowl and carb body with compressed
air to insure that no dirt or gasket particles remain.

CAUTION

Compressed air and particles dislodged by compressed air are
potentially harmful to eyes and body. Wear protective goggles
when using compressed air and always direct air stream away
from yourself and others nearby.

5. Remove the existing straight fuel inlet fitting with a 5/8" wrench,

and install the new fuel inlet with the 90° fitting in its place. See
Pictures 3 and 4.

6. Remove the existing needle from the float, and attach the new

fuel needle to the tang of the float by inserting the tang under the
wire lift-hook on the needle. Check that the hook is not too tight
nor too loose on the tang. When correctly installed the ball end on
the top of the needle should just contact the tang, but the needle
should be loose enough to swing back and forth with no binding.
Adjust the wire hook if needed.

7. Insert the float retaining pin into the float and install the float and

needle assembly into the bowl, making sure the needle fits into
the seat area of the fuel inlet fitting. Secure the float to the bowl
with the pan head screw removed in step 2. See Picture 5
