Again, thanks for all the advice.
Rather than start a new thread i have another question......leading on from the last.
The carb is a S&S super E shorty. i'm trying to get the float chamber off and have removed three screws.....all I can see.
Looking at diagrams it seems there maybe a fourth? Any one know?
It still seems very secure and I don't want to force it off in case there is a nother screw

A quick question regarding the Super E carb.......
I took off the S&S air filter, and took off the float chamber.
It looked remarkably clean so put it back together for a trial start.
Putting back the air filter back plate it is held in place by 3 allen bolts and the larger breather bolts at the top..........one of the 3 screws had been stripped by a previous owner and held in place with Loctite.
As with the 2 screws and breather bolts, the back plate is very secure I was going to leave the stripped bolt out.
The question is......do I need to plug the hole where the bolt was? I could temporarily Loctite the bolt in place as the PO, but i'd rather leave it out incase it got loose and sucked into the engine

In time there are many things which will need doing......however if the bike doesn't run there'll be more important issues.

As for the carb, Never seen to many issues with the E. Drop the bowl remove the main and intermediate jet and shoot some carb cleaner in there. Then a little air, not a lot cause you can blow the diaphragm on the accelerator pump when blowing out the Intermediate jet..... Should be good to go..
