S&S SUPER CARB ADJUSTMENTS

I wanted to really dial in the S&S Super E on my '76 Shovel. In the past I would just mess with something until I got it to work. Mainly due to the time constraints that a job and family puts on one, more and more I find myself finding info on the topic and going from there.

So I did some looking around and found this tip sheet written by Howard Kelly at S&S. I think useful information should always be shared. So here you go.

WTF?

I gave my dad his bike last weekend, up in San Luis Obispo. He rode it around and I noticed there was a shit load of oil coming out of the primary (the later 650 cases breathe into the primary). I looked in the oil tank and realize the bike was wet sumping.

So I pull the drain plug and strain the oil back into the tank, hoping I could get the ball bearing in the oil pump to re-seat itself. We get 90% of the oil back into the tank and my friend, Tom, says "what the fuck is that"?!

I giant blob of hair, twigs & what not had come out with the oil! All I can figure is the guy I bought the bottom end from (who shall go nameless) let it sit on the shelf for sometime and some small woodland creature made a home in it! Silly me didn't even check for a rodent condo before I put the barrel and pistons on it. (No the rock wasn't in there too!)
