Thanks, TwiZted, for the info on the Weber. I may just hang it on the wall in the shop as a conversation/decoration piece.

 

It's a bit of harley history that a lot know nothing about , somewhere some old school knuckle dragger would love to get his hands on it but finding his cave will be the issue

 

i have an 83 shovel hi-4n ignition , ls cam and super e also,,,i just rebuilt the motor and going to clean the e carb wanted to ask what you run on the settings to turn it over , thanks in advance

 

Don't quite follow your questions... What are "settings" for what..? And turning what over?

 

I guess that would help ...lol..I have 83 shovel w super E as well ...I wanted to know your settings if possible roughly how many turns in or out on the settings
Your fuel mix, idle and x pump. Just a reference . I know I can play with it but any short cuts or opinions are appreciated ..

Turning the motor over ...starting it from fresh rebuild

 

Usually 1.5 turns on the mixture screw for starters. Fresh rebuild, rings, valve job and lifters I would crank it for 30 seconds with plugs out twice (with rest in between) just to get a little oil moving around....

 

Let me add... Tuning is done with No Accelerator Pump.... None
If needed, after all else is done... or if the User is a Throttle Jockey!!!!
Be careful cranking an old Shovel with no plugs in... a good recipe for a Stuck solenoid...
A Good Wrench already has your oil up to wherever it is required... Some wrenches???? Not so Much.
Be careful!!!
Not that I do Not have an S&S Carb or "some"... I really like the CV, but hate the Manifold adapter...so QwiksilverII for me thanks...
LOL... Just throwin some **** at the wall!!!!!

 

I see you read that book too... "Brown Spots on the Wall"
by "Whoo Flung Poo”....

 

Well...now you assume I can read???
LOL
****!!! This Internet crap kinda gives that part away a little bit huh???
Tho My first Mac... back in the '90's, could read to you... in strange voices!!! Remember that one????
Sheesh... new study in how to sidetrack a topic!!!!!!

 

Just a little humor that's all.. but when it comes to carbs everyone had their preference.. they all work, just depends on the mechanic...
