hi I have a softail Classic 93 with the orgiginal carb (sealed) and sometimes when you have an explosion (normal) the carb is ejected or it moves from the rubber ring
the ring ( the rubber that supports the carb) is new
any idea why this could be happening ?
the bike was in the US and now is in Uruguay
the bike rides great
sorry about my English
There's supposed to be a bracket that goes across the front of the carb that bolts to the carb behind the air cleaner and bolts to the breather bolts on the jugs.

thats correct and I have those installed.
The carb moves the necessary that allows air between the carb and the rubber
could be this caused by low gas set up in the carb ?
you should not be having a kick-back through the carb. this issue needs to be corrected. it can be caused by lean out condition, valves or timing issues.
Sounds like a super-lean air/idle and/or pilot jet.
Set the air/idle at 2 1/2-3 turns out, and install a 42 pilot for starters, set the idle at approx. 1000 rpms.

Good advice, and it still sounds like something is loose, when mounted properly, there should be no movement of the carb. Take a look at some online mounting diagrams and see if yours is incorrect. A bracket or mounting plate may be loose and allowing the carb to suck air after the filter, which in turn makes for a lean condition. YD

Thats what I was saying. I don't think the cross bracket is installed.

sorry about this question, but what is a 42 pilot for starters?
