10- For street use, insert 11⁄4" steel tubing provided into short "tee" of T-hose and place 3⁄8" O.D. x 2.80" hose over other end of tubing. Hose

must rest in notch in backplate, with bevel down. Secure with Tie-wraps when correctly positioned. See Picture 32.

NOTE: An additional, 36" length of hose is provided for "Race Only" applications. It should be attached to T-hose in place of 2.80" hose, and routed to
overflow or "catch can" as required by event organizer. Breather hose should be routed in upward direction as much as possible. Because crankcase oil-air
mist exits from hose, hose and catch can must be mounted securely and well away from hot or moving parts as well as tires and brakes.

Oil on tire or brakes can result in loss of control of motorcycle, resulting in possible serious injury or death to operator and others.

7- Final assembly and checks.

A- Check carb to manifold mounting bolts.
B- Check carb to air cleaner backplate mounting screws.
C- Check each of following that is applicable:

• Carb mounting bracket to head bolts
• Mounting bracket to air cleaner bakplate.
• Mounting bracket to center case stud.
• Mounting bracket to tappet guide bolt.
• Mounting bracket to head breather vent fitting.
• Air cleaner backplate to head mounting bolts.

D- Check fuel line connections and routing. Avoid hot surfaces.
E- Check vacuum operated ignition advance connections if applicable.
F- Check crankcase to backplate vent hose connections if applicable.
G- Check fuel overflow hose routing. Avoid hot surfaces.
H- Test throttle to be sure it opens and closes freely. Turn handlebars to extreme left and open and close throttle, then turn bars to extreme

right and check throttle. When released, throttle should snap closed in all positions.

I- Reassemble components that were removed or disassembled for carb installation. Consult authorized Harley-Davidson® service manual for

installation procedure for stock parts not covered in S&S® carb instructions.

J- Check fuel needle and seat assembly. Fill gas tank with just enough fuel to test system. Lean motorcycle over towards carburetor side, turn

on fuel petcock and wait 20 seconds. If gas runs out end of carb or out overflow hose, turn off petcock and check needle and seat. See
"General Information."

K- Check fuel inlet fitting and fuel line connections for leaks. Hose clamps must be tight.

NOTE: Fuel needle and seat assembly must completely shut off fuel supply to carburetor bowl. Fuel inlet fittings and fuel line connections must not leak.

Gasoline leaking past inlet needle may flood engine causing contamination of oil supply and damage to engine.

Any gasoline leak represents a health and fire hazard.
