Twin cam guy needs help
Im a twin cam guy that's going to try to help my friend work on his shovel and learn some things along the way.
Starting with basics he had a shop put this SnS carb on with a ROUND filter and this cover, both are wrong the filter don't seat and the cover only bolts up in the front two bolts.
Want to get a filter n cover so crap don't get in during the work process.

Also his gas spills out the filler can on the low leaning side. Is the tank sitting wrong? Also Wth is up with the dash?
Sorry if I seem stupid but don't want to tear into much while I wait on my shop manual.

S&S "B" and "E" covers do Not Interchange...generally this is evidenced by only two screws lining up..
Someone has been Cobbling on that poor thing...
It is an '80 Model year...but, I can't make out the first two [number letter] combination...for Model
Guessing it was an FXE, but....
I especially like the way they smashed the rear pipe down to get a Socket on the exhaust port Bolt!!!!
You may want to start with one that has had a better Life...Or...If you enjoy a Challenge...Post away!!!
Oh...and if he's gonna overfill it while on the sidestand...he needs a better fuel cap...Unvented on the left side...

Pissed me off how he could let a beautiful piece of iron like that fall apart!

Looking at the pic, I think that may be an S&S "E"...so guessing they are trying to put a "B" cover on it...If that is so...I have a Friend wo needs to make a Trade with Hobo...
Gonna be a Challenge...I can only shudder to think what the Inside looks Like!!!!!!
Hopefully it never ran good enough to hurt itself!!!!!!
