Carburetors on all OHV H-D's, 1994-up Buells and
All 2000-up Single Runner Fuel Injected Models
WARNINGS
●
Gasoline is highly flammable, explosive under
certain conditions, and the fumes toxic when
inhaled. Be sure gasoline petcock is “OFF” before
beginning installation, provide adequate
ventilation, and disconnect battery ground cable
to avoid sparks and accidental engagement of
electric starter.
●
Improperly mounted carburetor may become
detached from motorcycle, resulting in immediate
health and fire hazard.
CAUTIONS
●
If improperly tightened or loosened by vibration,
bolts, screws, etc. located inside air cleaner
assembly may fall into engine, causing extensive
damage not covered under warranty. S&S
recommends applying Loctite 242 or equivalent
thread locking compound to threads of all bolts,
screws, and nuts located inside air cleaner
assembly.
●
Mounting bracket bolt of incorrect length may
cause parts damage not covered under warranty.
●
It is the owner’s responsibility to determine if
the installation of this air cleaner assembly is in
accordance with applicable legal and emissions
requirements.
●
Crankcase and cylinder head vents must be
open and free of restriction. To meet C.A.R.B. and
similar standards if applicable, crankcase pressure
must be vented into air cleaner assembly, not
directly into atmosphere.
●
Pressure relief passages in crankcase and/or
cylinder heads must not be plugged as gasket
failure and oil leakage may result.
INTRODUCTION
Installing an S&S air cleaner on a stock carburetor is simple and straightforward. Because this modification
increases airflow, larger carburetor jets may be required. Additionally, S&S air cleaners for stock carburetors
have no provision for the emissions canister purge valve required in some areas. As a result, installing this
product may render the motorcycle illegal for street use in California and other areas with similar emissions
standards. It is solely the owner’s responsibility to determine the suitability of this product for his use and
application.
