S&S® Throttle Cables for 1996 and Later Chassis
These throttle cables feature the "plug in" cable fastener to fit 1996 and later throttle grips, and the correct length inner cable for use with S&S
butterfly style carburetors with the shorter cable bracket. These cables must be used in 1996 and later Sportster installations. These cables may be
used on 1996 and later big twin installations if the S&S carburetor is equipped with the short cable guide bracket.
CARB INSTALLATION
Read instructions thoroughly to familiarize yourself with all procedures before beginning installation.
NOTE: Installation of S&S Super E carburetor kits on certain models is easier with gas tanks removed. Some owners may elect to perform installation
without removing gas tanks. This is left to individual discretion. If installer elects to remove tanks or other stock parts, S&S recommends referring to
appropriate Harley-Davidson® service manual for correct removal procedure as necessary.
1. Remove Old Carburetor
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke around gasoline. Gasoline fumes are toxic
•
when inhaled. Perform installation in a well ventilated area away from open flames or sparks. Any gasoline leak or spill constitutes a
health and fire hazard.
If motorcycle has been running, wait until engine and exhaust have cooled to avoid getting burned during installation.
•
Electrical sparks can ignite explosive gasoline fumes. Failure to disconnect battery while working on motorcycle can also result in
•
inadvertent engagement of starter and personal injury.
A. Shut off fuel petcock and disconnect battery.
B. Remove air cleaner assembly. Drain fuel from existing carburetor. Remove carburetor, manifold, choke cable and any carburetor mounting
hardware.
NOTES: Removing and tightening hard to reach Allen bolts like carburetor mounting bolts and manifold flange bolts can be greatly simplified by using
some special tools. The S&S rocker cover wrenches work very well for this application. See Picture 3. Allen ball-end drivers are also very helpful and are
available at most automotive and tool supply houses. See Picture 4. As an alternative a standard hex wrench can be shortened for convenience.
2. Prepare Air Cleaner Backplate
NOTE: Fast idle lever screws must not be over tightened. Loctite® or other thread locking compound may be used sparingly on threads to prevent screws
from vibrating loose.
Over tightening fast idle lever screws may damage backplate.
