Harley Davidson Muscle Bike Carburetor Fail / DeMod In Vain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- After several weeks of trying to turn this 1994 Softail back stock, I stumbled upon some facts about this bike that the previous owner didn't know about. Turns out my new-to-me evo softail is a muscle bike and didn't know it. So, therefore it becomes aparrent that the demods were in vain and will be undoing my undoing. But as a side note... I decided to test out how my 883 sportster would do with the mikuni before putting it back onto the softail.

That rocket launch scene was amazing! Good movie making!
so good
I agree that was fantastic!!!

I have a 20 year old 883C and love the simplicity.
I can appreciate your intentions.
Keep up the good work!
Yes, dear.
Yes, dear.
Yes, dear.
Your reaction when you got back and off the bike was priceless.
I'm in Ireland..I just love how Easy you are...REAL. Been a crotch rocket rider all my life...but thanks to you, I've realised, there's more to riding than the need for speed. Now on the lookout for a Harley that suits my everyday needs and enjoy my life and the scenery around me..Thanks again Brother
Subscribed to you channel 'cos of your integrity, no BS, entertainment and learn a little something each time. Look forward to more voice only out of shot cameo roles from your good lady (that was quality). Greetings from Scotland, UK.
You're lot younger than I am, but you're genuine old school and speak my lingo. Love the shed, similar to mine. Keep it as is. Cheers from Australia.
Your editing skills is what got you the subs. That and your awesome bikes... I enjoy your channel. Keep em coming!!
Love the interaction between you and your wife. You made it look really easy to wrench on your bike, you sure look like you know what you’re doing. Good job man
Loved it Brother!!!! The wife coming in was so funny. Those of us married guys have all experienced the wife coming in and asking what we are doing again!
Right???
Dude… this video was SOOOO hilarious, I almost fell off my chair laughing when I started to hear the countdown... great video bro...
Keep it up ! I'm gonna keep watching your channel. 👍
You come across as a nice bloke, and I subscribed for the Heritage classic videos..great story..keep up the good work. The fact you swapped a newer bike for an older one, and all the trials and tribulations of making it work for you is the story.
You hit LUDICROUS speed on your old 883 lmao That was great
No .... he went to Plaid. Must have over shot that car by a week and a half.........
@@robertadkins4466 all in a no-passing Zone
The only way a 883 would hit ludicrous speed would be if you pushed it out of an airplane!!
@@arthurmchugh5184 lol
I like what your doing. I just bought a 1993 electraglide classic. I enjoy older vs. new although its easy to get pulled into the bigger and better trap. The smile is just as big on old or new bikes!
Hey Tramp, your video on swapping the Softails got boosted by UA-cam and showed up on my recommended list last week. Really glad it did! Through you I discovered the 5 Dirty Bikers and now I'm following them as well. As time permits I'm going back and watching your older videos. Damn! If I'd known about the Midwest moto meet up, I'd have joined everyone. Maybe next time! Congrats on your recent success! Looking forward to your future uploads!!
Thanks, man!!
You tell a great story! Keep up the good work.
That's an amazing but extremely deserved bump! Been following you for a while and can without a doubt say you're one of my top favorite channels! Keep it up, brother! Still very excited to see the builds!
Thanks, Gringo. Thanks alot.
Been using 50wt oil in my 87 Softail since it was new. Enjoy the videos very much. Yours is a true old school channel, you don,t talk trash about anybody or different bike brands.
saddle trump man ur the main reason why im going to go out and rebuild the engine on my 1984 honda magna vf700 v42 it snapped 2 rods on me 3 months ago and just sits in my garage im finally gonna fix it because of you
I think I can speak for many if not all, we like your honesty and straightforwardness and speaking to us not talking at us, I feel like I'm right there in the shop with you, I like stopping by seeing what you're up to when I'm in the neighborhood, always warm and friendly, and love going on little rides with ya amigo ✌️
I appreciate that
The 2nd vid in the "trade-for-an-older-bike" series popped up in my feed. Said "wut?" to myself and watched it. Cool story! Neat how you dug into it and did all the wrenching yourself. Good editing and music too. Hope you get bigger and bigger! 👍👍
Great time seeing you man !
I've been watching for awhile now and have commented a couple times. You have a fan up north in Massachusetts ✌️. Keep them videos rollin ✌️
Big Hello from Poland. Nice to watch video on which someone showing his passion on a very natural way
I had a flat slide mikuni on an Evo hot rod. I never liked the adapter onto the Evo manifold, always seem a little janky and potential for leaks through the O ring. Good carburetor though, lots of tuning capability. Now all done with fire breather Evo's. I now build them with long service life in mind. 2500 plus subscribers in 36 hours, thats a lot of new friends. You're doing good work. Congrats.
what o ring ,mikuni goes on with a rubber flange and is held in place by the head breather vent bolts that hold the air intake assembly never had one leak. the origanal evo intake from the heads always split they were superceded with aluminum with a large rubber seal those were bulletproof!
Ive got an old handmade necklace from the 60's/70's, that was my uncles. Says "Tramp" on it. He was an old "scooter tramp" that used to live in California. Came back to Kansas in the 80's. Later in life, him, I and my dad used to ride all over together. They're both gone. Ive got a few bikes but haven't rode in years. Used to be my only transportation. Rain, snow, shine. Id agree with the Evo decision, they're good engines. Started to cringe at the first thought at ditching the flatslide. Anyhow, thanks for the video, you put a smile on my face.
I can emphasize with you quandary about the Heritage upgrades. I have a 1997 Dyna Wide-Glide. New 42 Mikuni carburetor, new Andrews ev3 cam, new stock Harley lifter's. New Metzeler tires front and back with new tubes and rim strips. New python exhaust. New S&S steel oil breather gear, new cam bearing, Wiseco 10-5-1 pistons with complete gasket upgrade. Happy as can be with the performance. Runs as good as it looks. I'm 67 years years young and still learning.
Don't stop! What you share is always appreciated, and as mentioned before, appreciated by "us older guys."
Old school is alive and well. Thank you for sharing your videos.
I needed a good laugh...Thanks Brother...Keep these videos coming!!!!
At 9:35 when your wife came out I cracked up laughing! Being married for 15 years myself, I've had these conversations before when the wife comes out to see a new stack of parts in the garage haha!
Your great man! And look at you. A year later and your rockin 24.2K subscribers! Keep up the awesome!
Edit: That launch sequence was hilarious! Nice editing!
Thanks, man. Yeah, most of us married folks have been there done that. If only I had on film the several other times she's busted me with new motorcycle parts that came in the mail. Lol
I just recently discovered your channel since I started getting back into my shovel head project. I subscribed because your videos are great, but this one had me rollin🤣 the “launch sequence “was fantastic!
Lol... Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Just keep doing you brother !!! Your just someone that makes me happy to know genuine people are still out there
Loving watching these, that heritage is lovely
Setting here in the hospital waiting on a heart bypass all I can think about is getting back home and taking a ride on my old road king It's a 98 mdl thanks for keeping me going.
God's speed my friend and get well soon after the op !
UA-cam has started boosting you in the watch next area on all the bigger motorcycle channels. I noticed you popping up more over the past week. Hold on tight brother, your channel is about to grow fast! Keep putting out the quality videos!
New sub.. still looking back through past vids loving your old school way of thinking.
Great fun - greetings from the North of Scotland
Heh... and now over 4.5K. I will say, I appreciate what you're doing with the older bikes. I'd love to find an evo softail like that to pick up in good condition, and wrench on it. Enjoying learning a lot about it, and I really appreciate that. It's awesome to find someone who's sharing knowledge, not just trying to peddle farkles....
T- minus 15 seconds!! Another awesome video, Saddle Tramp! Conagratz on the new subs.
Keep up the good videos brother and god bless you and the family
Your Channel is Cool! Your Shop reminds me of the Shop I use to bring my FXWG to. Dick called it the Cycle Barn and it was in a barn. Dick died about 8 years ago, but was a great Harley mechanic. Especially on older Harley Davidsons.
You’re gonna have to get another Mikuni for the Heritage. I love my Mikuni carb, don’t twist the grip so hard and gas mileage might improve haha. You’re livin the dream young man, love your videos
Man ive been having the same problems, got the same mikuni on it, installed an oil cooler but every now and then i hear noises, can tell its running hot. Gonna check those push rods on mine. Thanks for the video
I dig watching you man, your real and it’s cool
you got the magic factor man. Keep em coming.
Hey...Thank you man...You keep puttin em out,I'll keep watchin... I ride a 92 evo softy....with a pretty ridiculous cam,edelbrock aluminum heads and crane electronic ignition...love it.. first bike I ever had with a starter....my limp ain't so bad anymore...
883 Rocket launch!!! That was great. Lovin me some 883 action.
“Yes, Dear” 😳😮. 🤣😂🤣😂😆😆. Yeah, Buddy!! That sounded familiar!! 🤔
Dig them acoustic blues I like listening to the old stuff like dust my broom
Nice burnout while the misses was running an errand. Love your stuff Brother.
Thanks!
I'm one of the new subs, about a week now. I just like your no BS approach plus the Tramp is a bad ass motorcycle.
Brother Man, I just subscribed you're over 4K now LOL. I came because of the video where you swapped your Twin Cam for the Evo. I used to ride a Shovelhead FLH, I just bought a 2006 Heritage with a 93 inch motor.
Congrats on 4.4K...the HS w/evo is what caught my eye. Have a 93 HS and your knowledge is helping me wrench on mine👍
Your subs jumped because UA-cam started recommending your videos to people. The same thing happened to me when they started recommending some of my videos with my '69 Mach 1, although it was just my view count because I don't have a "channel", with narrated videos like you have. It'll level off after a bit, but then you'll start getting subs from your videos coming up in searches. Keep the faith and ride safe, brother.
@ 11:00 started to laugh hard, great editing bro. gonna share this!
I have been binge watching since I found your channel this afternoon. I am From Fresno California. Great stuff and I will be sure to share! Ride safe brotha!
I am one of the new guys to your channel and the way I "found" your channel is by youtube placing you as a suggestion into my home screen. I am guessing that this is what gained you so many subs in such a short time....if I am right youtube did you a great favor...subbed, rock on mate

Enjoy your channel Brother, good to hang out wit-cha. You mentioned South Ms,,,, I live there myself!
Lets Ride!
I ride Harley-Davidsons, and Yamaha, and Kawasaki, and BMW...... I love motorcycles and your site. Keep up the good work. Just found your site last week and it has good content, ride safe!
You appeared on my timeline, I ride 02 flhr but most of my vids are of drone content. Enjoy your vids, keep’em coming!
hello from new zealand. im steve a harley guy that loves working on my own bikes..great videos you post.
That space shuttle bit was very well done and laugh out loud funny .
I still giggle everytime I watch it.
I'm new to your YT channel and I'm really enjoying your videos. Part of the reason I enjoy them is because they are natural, unrehearsed. Keep up the good work.
Brother keep’em comin, totally dig your vibe...ain’t nothing better than riding, but, wrenchin comes close.
You keep it real, that is what I like about your videos!
This video is proof as to why your subscribers has quadrupled! Awesome and fun video. Here's to wind in your hair.
As one of those that subscribed, i enjoyed the content, quality, and entertainment value. Keep it up, looking forward to more video's. God Bless
Good stuff,keep it coming...love the old school.
Johnny Cash T-shirt HELL YEAH!!!
Man thats awesome on the subscriber count. Good for you!! You're at 5.6k now, heck yeah!! Thats what happens when you put out good stuff, eventually it just takes off when people start finding it and the more that find it the more it comes to the top. Keep working it
Love that rocket takeoff/burnout clip. That was awesome!!!
We are watching brother man !!
And now you got over 6400. Good job. I'm kinda in your neck of the woods. Got family in Wiggins and Perkingston. Been to Scooters. I like the shop. Old School. Keep it up. You got a new sub here. Your right about the 60 weight down here.
5.8K brother... and growing!!!! LOL keep it up... love the OLD stuff... helps me with my '76 FLH... THANX!
Love your videos man congrats on the 4,000 subs ,the blast off was epic!
I loved your rendition of the ‘Softail Shuffle’ when you got your Keihin CV carburetor opening properly! Please don’t give up on this carburetor, you can increase jet sizes to compensate for your cam. I put a cam in my last Harley Springer and upgraded to the CV because it is an amazingly simple and consistent carb. Mileage suffered a little but that’s to be expected when your gunnin’ for performance!
Btw, what intrigued me about your channel is your swap from a twin cam to an EVO. I am a big fan of Harley’s best and simplest motor! - Diamond Jim
And another sub from South Africa. YT is a better place with you in it bro , be good to yourself !
That was an awesome film . Thanks again for another great video.
Mark from Maryland
Your awesome man I love your videos I watched your video of riding a hard tail and since then I've been here watching every one
Wow... Thanks man!!!
Great edit with the count down !! Loved it from Minnesota
Thanks!
lol, i subbed yesterday. I like the videos where you made the bike trade and all the follow up vids, keep it up and keep updating the new 94 fatboy.
Out Of The Box WoodWorks old cb handle was shovelhead got me thinking about this 88" twin cam I just got want to leave my ride to my son so a down grade might be the way to go K.I.S.S love the down grade
New viewer here. Picked up on the EVO swap and watched a few videos since. Loved the rocket and sound effects in this one.
I subscribed because of this series with your new bike. It's really good and then I watched your movie, again funny and entertaining. Just got home from a 120 mile ride in middle Tennessee today (beautiful by the way) and saw you posted this one. I have a feeling your channel may be blowing up a bit. Have fun with it and God bless.
The moment the wife walks in and tries to talk sense into you.... And then realizes that "probable deniability" and refusal of rescue....cause you were gonna do what you were gonna do... was a better plan all the way around... LOL
6.8k now and its September 6th.. youre doing something right man
says 4k now and i just added another...ride on my friend!
You will be amazed what you would get, if each circuit was finely tuned for each individual engine.
Flatslides tend to rattle a bit on harleys
Dude I have a 1998 Electra Glide Classic with an S&S 107 Supersidewinder, Super G carb, 2 into 1 supertrapp exhaust, and a Baker OD6 and got about 42 miles to the gallon on a trip to the Appalachians this spring. Same mileage as my bros 2012 Street Glide right beside me. Been very reliable.
I wish I could hit the like button twice. That video was put together awesomely.
Informative and very entertaining, a good story teller, and well put together video with a humorous moment.......I liked the Countdown....
I have only seen a few of your vids but they are enjoyable to watch. It helps that you love my favourite motorcycle 😁
Look at a couple of your videos and I recognized some of the scenery and realized we're close to the same neck of the woods
That is interesting information to learn about that Evo. If it were my bike, I would run a slightly higher octane. I bet that Evo would love it! I bet you would have an even better throttle response!
So funny to compare your evo with a rocket, tears in my eyes! Great video.
Thank you for making good and entertaining videos! I just started and have no idea what I’m doing, but you are splicing and pairing music well. Whole thing looking pretty professional ! Good going saddle tramp!
and your wife is cool too...a keeper for sure ...nice video..cool stuff !
Nice job man numbers will keep rising for you
U seem to be a down to earth dude. An ur real. People like that. Stay safe brother
Awesome channel brother.... Keep it going!
That was an awesome video. I was laughing at the countdown. Stay real man.
