What carburetor do I need
Hi,
I need a little help for choosing a carburetor. I have a electra glide FLH 1980 complete standard engine. I will change my carburetor for a S&S carburetor.
There are 3 different models which one can I take?
The S&S super B carburetor The S&S super E
or the S&S super G carburetor
and what does mean shorty. There are so many differents
Thanks!!

Stay away from the S&\\;\\\\\\;S carb for your Shovel Head....install a 40mm CV carb (stock EVO and TwinCam) witha Dyno Jet kit, you won't be sorry

In order to install a CV on your shovelhead you're gonna have to purchase more than just a carburator.
The S&\\;S(super E) \\;works fine on my shovel and the kit is very complete and easy to install.

Back in the day an S&\\;\\\\\\;S carb was the best you could get for a shovel. Why is a CV better and when did it become a better choice? just curious.....

CV carbs aren't much better then the old Kiehn (bad spelling I know) carbs even when they have been tuned and tweeked. S/S Super B is easy \\;to install and tune, not to mention pretty much bullett proof. And you don't need an expensive tuning kit to make it work. Of coarse this an opinion mixed in with a reasonable amount of experiance
