Thank you for this video. In the middle of doing this now and got up to the jet removal portion but am waiting for son to come home so he can see the process, too. I was able to use a stubby flathead screwdriver for all four bowl screws. A headlamp and a rectangle telescoping mirror made it pretty easy. As for what I've seen so far, oh boy, the bottom of my fuel bowl looked like a sewer. Sludge. Bike has sat for some years because, well, life happens, and I already have cleaned out the gas tank. I should add that carb has been on bike 20+ years, too. Going to clean all three jets, needle float, main, and idle. Did get bike running but it wouldn't idle, and that's how I found you.

Hey Rocco, I have a 98 evo with the same jetting as on the video. I am experiencing a one second flat spot when accelerating from low to mid range and then it kicks in, and no issues in the higher range. S&S says I need to drill out the main jet air bleeder a bit larger to maintain the gas a bit longer before the main jet kicks in, since I have the older model with no jet replacement. But runs great other than that. What do you think, friend? Robert

I opened up the cover for my ss super e carb today due to my bike idling wrong and sounding different and ther was a lot of oil around the filter and in the cover not sure why ther would be oil in ther but it seemed to be coming from some hose that is placed on the quarter inch Allen head screws for the choke placement and I left them ther for the mean time due to me not knowing if it was a part that was meant to be on ther and would be crucial for the motor if I removed them ....but on your video I see no sign of those hose or oil in your carb so I’m just wondering how the hell would oil get up in ther is that normal or did some dumbass just spill oil in the carb and forgot to clean ? I just got the bike a few months ago and never been in a ss super e carb so I was clueless but I’m quite sure ther shouldn’t be oil in ther? ...am I correct or is the oil on the inside ther to make a good seal for air filter ?

Great vid rocco...I have a 2006 harley sportster XL883 I rebuilt my cv40 carb because she would backfire and foul out plugs in less than a mile of riding.I found the air cleaner was missing two bolts,the pilot jet was a 54.so I put in cvp pilot jet 44 and after i put everything together She started right up but when i give her gas she bogs out like its not enough fuel.I backed out the idle mixture screw and no change dont bog out no more but it still backfires sometimes off idle.Seemed too run better when i turned the screw out but i stopped around 3 turns did not want to turn it out more.Any suggestions is it a faulty float adjustment or something would appreciate any insight on what to do before i pour gas on it and burn it lol.wish you lived in palm coast i would pay you to fix it i dont trust any place around here.oh she has tenk miles on her with screamin eagle pipes and a turbine air cleaner.

@@TwoWheelRocco Hi, I am about to do that tomorrow. The bike was working fine but with a little popping out of the exhaust every so often. I took the air filter out to check out the condition of it and it was nasty so I decided to change the air filter, fuel filter and assumed it would not be a bad idea to get a new carburetor. The day I had it done, I took the bike out for an hour run and it worked perfect. The next day is when the issues started. Once the rpm goes up a bit from 2nd to 3rd the bike would choke, pop and die. I spoke with a couple different mechanics and they all have their own opinion on what is going on but no one had mentioned bad gas or something in my tank. I will be draining the tank tonight. Something else that did happened is that the mechanic at the shop I took the bike exchanged my fuel filter( that was a day old) for another one without letting anyone know. He placed one that was similar to the one I bought but didn't tell anyone about it. So now, I am not sure if that filter is the problem. I am pretty sure the issue is in between the tank, filter or petcock. But I will let you know tomorrow. Thank you again
