S&S Carb ????? Please help.

Those carburetor modification kits mentioned are only good for getting better response out of that carb, but if its not tuned or operating correctly to begin with then you are not likely going to fix it. A few years ago the S&S carbs received a modification that added a bleed jet inside. I think the older version just had a hole or passage. One of the S&S guys out at the Laughlin motorcycle run 2 years ago told me that this jet was added to resolve some high speed fouling problems. Then again, I've heard these same guys blow smoke about other stuff they were simply guessing about.

Here's my own personaly opinion... someone may jump in and think different. I've never been a big fan of the Super G unless used in race applications. To me if you are set on a S&S then the Super E is a good carb for anything up to your engine size. Bigger isn't always better and a buddy of mine has pulled better numbers with his Super E than other customs or harleys with the Super G.

Opinion #2 - if it were me I'd stop washing money and gas down that carburetor and go with a Mikuni HSR45. On big-inch motors I swear by both the 42 and 45. IMHO these carbs have the cleanest response when used on large displacement engines.

as stated, the e carb is probably the better of the two for hiway use.....one thing you state is the up/down of the idle. this concerns me a bit....have you checked for intake leaks?? use a little wd 40 and spray some around the manifold, throttle shaft, to see if the idle changes....keep us informed

OK now that we've tossed it out and beat it with a stick the E and G are good carbs and pretty easy to tune.

That G should work on a 113 as we have an elbruto 113 and it comes with a G, sounds to me like the people doing the tuning don't know jack or you have a bad carb.

S&S has a super tech support line, call them and discuss what is going on.

They wil help you

Also go to www.sscycle.com and download the manual for that carb.

You have to set the carb up right and it sound rich.

Do you know anything about the carb, the main and pilot jet numbers?

If not turn off the gas at the petcock, remove the air cleaner and backing plate, be careful to not screw up the enricher.

Then put a tuna fish can (empty) under the carb and remove the bowl nut, and drain out the gas., you can see the main but not the pilot jet (intermediate on S&S) get the number, my bet is the pilot is way off and the air fuel screw is out of adjustment.

Pull the float bowl off and remove the intermediate and get the number, also there may be an airbleed jet in the bowl if so get the number on it as well, it can also be located on the rear facing side of the carb or none at all. depends.

The manual pdf you download will show you all the parts, screws, etc.

then post the numbers here so we know the jets.

Turn in the air mix screw gently counting the turns to bottom then back out 2.5 turns to start.

You have a tuning issue or a problem carb JMO
