Shacknasty made a post in this thread: pushrod adjustment help!!If hydraulic lifters need adjusting, I prefer to remove, take apart, and clean the suckers. Gives me a chance to inspect the lifters, rollers and cam surfaces. Then reassemble and adjust with the dry method. No waiting around to bleed down, no cha...

Shacknasty made a post in this thread: Well this is a first...You REALLY need a carb support brace! I use two braces on the Super B on my old Shovel. I can stand on my carb with zero movement. My carb ain't fallin' off when I hit a bump.

Shacknasty made a post in this thread: Having a hard time with this case numberAn HD motor number is stamped on a pad between the cylinders on the right case. It should read 3A or 4AxxxxH0 if it's a proper 1970 XL. Those numbers might be a Wisconsin assigned number, but I am just guessing.
Post a pic or two.

Shacknasty made a post in this thread: Ok, Im to my wits end (kickstarting Shovel)A resting battery should read 13 volts or a little higher. You definitely need a new battery or, at the very least, a good recharge. Low voltage will make yer motorsickle run like crap and make it hard, if not impossible, to even hickstart. Next s...

Shacknasty made a post in this thread: Ignorant Super E QuestionsJust so ya know, the S&S a/c cover is designed for optimal flow. The little cone shaped part inside the cover helps smooth and direct the airflow. I've known some riders that reported some slight carb trouble after changing the cover, and some tha...
