You are fortunate you have a live-in UA-cam instructional video in the guise of a talented father to help guide you. You are so talented yourself and learning more every day. Pretty inspirational I am sure to so many women riders who desire to work on their own bikes!
Well done & informative Angel. A suggestion...put a drop of Loctite on each of the butterfly screws. You don't want them ever coming loose...and certainly not getting into your engine. Hi to you and yours. 👍✌️🇨🇦
Definitely Locktite those butterfly screws. It cost me thousands to replace the pitted pistons, heads with pulled inserts and eventually had to redo the bottom end. This all happened after having the engine freshly rebuilt to 88'''.
From my personal experience I'd suggest you put the B on the shelf and get yourself an E shorty. Those B's stick out so far they're always in the way and make it hard to get at the rear brake pedal and make for a generally uncomfortable ride. Again this is my personal opinion only, you might love it. ✌️from Ontario
Right on! S&S carbs are pretty simple, have a Super "B" carb on my turbocharged Honda motorcycle, flows a ton of air. The only drawback is no accelerator pump, kits are available to install one in the carb though. Great video, Angel! Thanks and ride safe, hon.😘😎
You just can't beat good old carbed bikes! Keeping motors simple to run can't be beat. Now a days, it's electronic fuel injection which is pffffttt in my opinion. No character in these new bikes being made today. Course I have ride both, but I prefer the old stuff. Kinda like me, old lol. Loved the video and watching you giving the love to that old S&S! Ride and stay safe up in your beautiful B.C.!
I always love to learn, thanks for teaching Red. Another good source for HD tech information is Scooter Tramp Scottys channel. He had a cool temporary fix for a starter gone out on the road. Always so glad there's people like you and your dad willing to pass along the knowledge. ❤😊
@RedRiderCanadaBC I have it on an evo atm. I bought an OEM rebuild kit because the float is sticking but think I just want to stick I new e on it lol. I love the look of the air cleaner better too lol
Good Evening Angel, Jets, needles and seats??? Unless you are dyno tuning or traveling from way up in the mountains to sea level, needle and seat sets need not be worried about. The luck of fuel injection is never having to deal with this. Like points, there are just some things few of us enjoy dealing with. Thank You for the time and commitment to good technology. Thank You to your Dad in the background and in your training, we know it's still you doing the work. Everyone has a trainer and no one deserves to be put down for referring to theirs. Red you are a spectacular Young Lady with the world at your feet. What impresses me most is your respect to the past and those that came before. I was recently watching another's video where they made a statement of ignorance if we didn't do it their way yada yada yada. NO Respect to all who came and did long before that one was born. Thank You for being genuine. With Love and Respect, you are in my prayers Hoka Hey
Amazing! I have never even seen a Super B carb before. Great video Red! I love to see you and your dad working together. Looks like he was working on something else in the background.
Super envious of your knowledge Angel, im definitely mechanically minded and can wrench my own but my patience is questionable 😂....passion is exciting when you find it ! Keep it coming girl
Nice video Red, I just wish that was a Super E carburetor. That is what I have in my 98 Fatboy, thankfully I have never needed to tear it down yet. It sure makes a shush shush shushing sound when the enrichener is pulled. It just ads a little extra to the potato potato potato. It's all good, It makes me happy and so does your videos.
Modern day carb cleaning is done with an ultrasonic cleaner . Nothing is missed and blowing out the passages after rinse usually will suffice carb cleaner ... And not that expensive to get into ... Caught you ... You forgot the bowl gasket . LOL . Just kidding and you are very well informed about the workings of a tractor carb ....
Great video Red! I have only rebuilt my Farmall carb. Too busy doing all the rest of the maintenance on the bikes. The new ones are fuel injected and the old bikes are difficult to find parts for.
Had one of those on an Ironhead Sport. Never did get it correct. Could beat it all day on the open road without any problems. In town, would foul plugs every half a mile between stops n lights. Got an adjustable main jet, shut it off for in town, open it up for the highways. Helped some with in town riding, but never did work correctly. Hope you can get yours working well.
Hey Highly recommend fitting a *Yost tube* it totally transforms the performance of a B Series Carb by fully atomizing the fuel passing through the main jet passage giving a crisper throttle response as these carb dont have a fuel pump.
Nice watching you fix the carb. I believe that various glues are preferred for getting high, not carb cleaner. The end result looks good though. I removed my B from my 78 sporty a few weeks ago. The semi liquid inside that once was gas 8+ years ago is nasty. It is on the list, I also would have thought that the "master" kit should have everything. The rat's nest of wiring and brake caliper bleeding screws that are frozen in place are next on the list. If anybody reading this has a solution for frozen bleeder screws, I would be happy to hear it. They have ignored PB Blaster and Kroil so far.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Thank you my friend I will try that. I do not like to replace original parts with questionable after market stuff that is often made in the land of almost right.
Red, i thought the B was great for my 88 inch shovelhead. It did take me a couple of swings to jet it right but the result was one kick when she was warm and two or three cold.
Hiya, I just rebuilt my s/s b and updated the thunder jet to a smaller size it had the original for 3oyrs but had always come on to late so now it should kick in sooner and I also have the adjustable main jet. it took me more time to get it right but runs so much better , now this is on my 1982 ironhead sportster that is stroked to a 74 cube and has the heads duel plugged and runs a crane ignition and for cams they were the largest Andrew made to drag with had to have the cases machined so they would clear on the inside and also running Jim's big lifers and lite weight adjustable push rods I spent over 10k on this bike bake in 83 and quit counting money at 14k but still enjoy riding this bike its a handful when everything right the fuel is the biggest thing have to carry a octane booster or be real lite on the throttle lol tranny got all new internals this summer they are Andrews too. use to run this with a electric shift but took that off after a few years now just set the clutch's up and run it like I stole it lol the beast is due for a complete rebuild on the engine but I only ride it once or twice a year and the cost now is so much more to do. so my bike now is a 1988 FLHS with a 89 stroker kit in it that I have completely restored now has 2800 miles on and is just what I needed to travel on it to has a lot of go faster parts lol you be safe and maybe some day we shall meet up and talk more of rides and adventures
We have similar Sportsters, mine started as a 1978 XLCR, I don't have the ThunderJet, haven't opened the B yet so I don't know about my main jet. What I have found so far with a little disassembly is 4 5/8" stroke (74") with Andrews V9 cams, S&S B carb and intake ported and polished professionally right through to the valves, four spark plugs, Sputhe Racing engine cases. I haven't started it yet, still mired in rat's nest wireing, brakes, disassembling checking cleaning packing and fitting all bearings, all the stuff you do when a bike has sat for 25+ years in a shed. Good to know that I am not the only one with one of these and that it is probably rideable.
Man that sounds like a really fun little bike hahah. I would love to get an old ironhead to soup up one day... maybe when I'm done the projects I have haha.
Hi Brian, I haven’t looked for any yet. But I’m pretty sure they will have some at the shop near me! I’ll have to take a look at their inventory and I’ll let you know. Thanks!
Wow, there's several differences between that carb and my Super E. Ask your dad if he has any experience with the old Two Throat S&S used to make, and if so, what are his thoughts? BTW, I just watched this video while sitting in your fine country (Quebec). Cheers!
When I was a child, my mother was afraid that I would become a substance addict, because I liked to disassemble and assemble old corburetors and smell their smell. I loved the smell of old gasoline with a low octane number, now there is no such gasoline for a long time. I loved the smell of used oil, because there was a smell of exhaust gases in it. Now parents should not worry about this, benzite and oil do not smell delicious 😂. Что ты сделала со своими красивыми волосами?! Они практически прямые 😮
Red or blue on those tiny screws and they will never come out, no matter how hard you try to remove them! Locktite does make a formula for that size, purple I think, correct me if I am wrong.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC I decided to help you think, so a trip to the shop. My bottle is Permatex threadlocker 222, it has what I think is a purple bar across the front. Be advised that I am partially color blind so it is a 'best guess'. It claims to be low strength and suitable for small fasteners. Blue is for 1/4" to 3/4", red is for 3/8" to 1" if my memory is accurate. Enough brain strain for now. An armed Canadian, my my.
So, at the end, you mentioned several items that the carb was missing, but you didn't seem to replace those. Are they not necessary? Thanks for sharing.
Hi , from japan , Can you talk more about running hard lines on your bike , I want to do this to my Pan but i have no idea where to start and there isn’t a lot of information out there.
My setup is kind of experimental… but they’d stood the test for the last 6 years with no issues? I’ll try doing a video soon where I talk about my setup.
Teds carburetor, and his son cous words and all on cabrator chronicles on UA-cam channel if they are still on there , not sure, thanks BigAl California
I haven’t looked for the part on the throttle arm, but from what I’ve seen online everything seems to be pretty easy to find. And s&s will always give part numbers if you give them a call
I have never worked on one of these carbs as I run a Mikuni flat slide. Just wondering should the screws that hold the butterfly valve on the spindle have a little drop of blue loctite on them as, if one slackened off, it could go through the Venturi and into the engine - thoughts?

Thanks for the input 🙂 I have a Super E on my bike. This B is what my dad wants to put on his bike.
The B is a monster carb, as it should be. I liked my B but also grew to love the E. Personal preferences change
A doctorate in carburetors, I’m not suprised, another great video Red👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Super to watch that carb rebuild and so much easier to see than some of the tiny Japanese carbs 😊 good Job 👍
Right on! S&S carbs are pretty simple, have a Super "B" carb on my turbocharged Honda motorcycle, flows a ton of air. The only drawback is no accelerator pump, kits are available to install one in the carb though.

Thank you Marcus 🙂
Go Canada!! Love the content Red, keep it rolling!!
Will do! Thanks ✌️
I love the super B E and G carbs! So simple and always work. My favorite. As soon as i can get one im changing out my mikuni for an E
What bike is your mikuni on? I've heard those are the best carbs for the shovelheads... maybe we can work a trade 😆 🤔
@RedRiderCanadaBC I have it on an evo atm. I bought an OEM rebuild kit because the float is sticking but think I just want to stick I new e on it lol. I love the look of the air cleaner better too lol
Good material. Keep on Shovelin...🔥
Always!
Great video, I rebuilt my Super E in the spring. You should look into getting a ultrasonic cleaner, they work great.
Just bought a black Super E and manifold for the Ironhead. The old Bendix seen better days. 'Tis the season.
I like the way the black super e's look 👍
Good job with the Super B. You’re right, S&S has some good videos about tuning and set up not rebuilding.
My early Ironhead sportster had a Tillotson carb; never gave me any problems. 👍🐾
Never heard of that brand 🤔
🆒 Video Angel!!!

Finally you got to the to B carb rebuild! Very nice I thought the kits came back with a new throttle shaft also , bushings but no shaft .
It came with a shaft and bushings. 👍
