Default super b carb.

Hi everyone, the bike is coming along nicely. I hope to be riding soon. Any advise you can give on the super b carb that came with the bike. I was told that it wasn't ideal to use on the sportster but I need to make it work if possible. It seems to use to much air. Is there any way to restrick it. Also I noticed that when all the cam marks are lined up its the rear cylinder that is at TDC is this right.

There is no relation between setup of TDC marks and cam marks. They are set up completely independently. Just ensure that all the marks line up, including the mark on the pinion gear.
