I have inherited a FLH 2AH7 motor. Has the following: STD heads on S&S 80EF cylinders. Motor was rebuild 2-3 years ago by a guy with a very good rep. Never started- Looks really tidy. Any ideas how I could determine if there has been a flywheel change and the stroke without stripping? My 78 needs a top end job and I intend to run this motor in my 78 as is.

Also, I was going to run in with a Super B, any suggestions for starting jet sizes - I like to run a little rich during run-in.

Thanks

 

take out the timing plug - stock wheels have only timing line and a dot

stroker wheels will have a series of numbers and letters as well as timing marks that will give codes to year of wheels in some cases and the stroke that it is

if you dont know what size the motor a carb answer is useless

 

Thanks, I shall have a look, I agree, basically I have a carb question!

I have 1 line and 1 dot This crank has never been used. Brand new OEM? Any other cranks available for Shovelheads other than S&S?

V Twin carries a china line of flywheels - truett and ozborn carries a full line of USA made flywheels and the RPLS japan stuff is now floating around but that stuff is about a year old -- ultima from midwest cycle has a china line and some others

go to S&S site and print out the carb info and do that first for a 80 inch motor if then you still have issues you will then have a better understanding of what to ask and reallly what is going on so when you get a suggestion you will know if that can help or not
