My 81' FLH has a S&S Shorty carburetor on it that always running a little too rich, any tips on tuning this thing? Thanks!

 

Take a look here for some info, you can also find more on tuning on the S&S site

I just re-built my super E for the same reason.I spent about seventy bucks on O-rings I could have bought at the hardware store for two bucks. Anyway the reason mine was running rich was because the last goofball that supposedly re-built it lost the o-ring that goes on top of the injector nozzel where it inserts into the venturi. So the vacume was constantly sucking gas no matter what jets he used.I downloaded a tuning manual from s&s that goes into how to tune their carbs.Go to sstech@sscycle.com find instruction sheet 51-1012 . Good Luck

 

Thanks for the replies and tips guys! Warparty

 

Here's the direct link to that tuning guide so you don't have to search for it ... it opens with Adobe reader and you can save a copy on your computer, and even print it if you want to
