You know how it is when you're installing something new, they sometimes send Bolts or other pieces that don't fit you're bike, you just put them back in the box and move on. It should have occurred to me when I saw an item made of plastic that there was a special need for this particular item. I NEVER throw pieces away, even old parts I generally hang onto. Thanks again. Had a chance to polish the Intake while everything was out of the way. Cleaned the fins from the inside also. Didn't realize how bad they were. If John can tell me how to swap that out I should be able to get everything back together tomorrow.

Don't mess with it. Use the stock S&S emulsion tube., like what your new carb has. Jet the new carb properly, and call it a day. Any new Mods ? Bore the carb, and maybe a Thunderjet, and try a different air jet.
So you're saying that nothing attaches here? Just reset per your earlier instructions?

That looks just like the one he did for me not long ago. Runs like a champ once dialed in.
Snag a set of these to make those jet changes a bit easier. Plus they look pretty slick.
S&S SUPER E AND G CARB EXTENDED FLOAT BOWL SCREWS - BRASS - Lowbrows Custom
Anyone who has ever had to make several jet changes, or drop their float bowl on the side of the road knows how difficult to reach stock float bowl screws can be. Our Extended Float Bowl Screws solve this issue. Included in this set are four brass hex head extended screws with steel threads...

Excellent! I just ordered a set. Very convenient and like you said, they look great! I found a shop just over the Florida line that has a DYNO. When I'm done with everything I plan to make the trip. It's about two hours...not too bad. I don't expect to be finished for several more months.
No...I'm in Georgia now, little town right outside Savannah. If I recall correctly that shop is a little south of Brunswick,Georgia.
When I bought my bike the guy I bought it from really loved it. Honestly, he was a huge guy, probably 6'-4", I could have sworn at one point I saw a tear in his eye. Medical/financial problems forced him to sell. Like a real dog, he really wanted it to go to a good home. Well, he found one in me. I love this bike just as he did. One of the first things he told me about was the 'Forum'. So, initially I didn't think too much about it but I remember thinking that I should join. Man, was that a great decision! Collectively you guys have came to my assistance on EVERY problem I've encountered. There's NO DOUBT that you've solved dozens of problems and prevented me from making numerous mistakes. Something as simple as installing a plastic washer to prevent heat build up, or removing a plug on the Carburetor when installing the Spike Air Filter. These small but highly significant pieces of information make the difference between simply completing a job, and doing it RIGHT. You don't get this information from a book or even a Tech rep at any of the parts distributors. There's only one place that provides this...YOU GUYS. So, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your contribution to this build and to say "Thanks".
Yeah to a point.
Got the carb installed today, also the Arlen Ness Oil Press Gauge. The line on the gauge was too long so I'll have to get it modified. All went well. Removed the tank so I can retie the wiring. I'll try to get that done next weekend. I'm hoping space coast will finish my items this week and get them back to me so I can get the Forward Controls mounted. Still polishing the Front Wheel assembly...don't want to rush that. So, that's it for this weekend.

To install, do I just unscrew the old one replace? Also, though the brass would look good with the brass float bowl screws you showed me.That looks just like the one he did for me not long ago. Runs like a champ once dialed in.

Yep. Screw the old one out. Put the new one in.
Great. Appreciate it.
