Yep put too much 5w20 on & it’s too thick & leaks out. Noticed several mix w/gas. Has anybody tried mixing oil w/kerosene in spray bottle to solve this?

Busy, cruise, Covid. Got it all back together today by using hair dryer to soften up carb holders (suggestion from neighbor who has worked on Harley’s for years). Popped in, tightened up auto style clamps, new filters. Started right up, rode to beach. Read posts about mixing oil & gas for air...

Left one after straightening gently with linesman pliers. Now have done both & will try them on new manifolds after I get back from trip Thinking might work better if I connect manifolds to carbs on the bench & then bolt up to engine.

Thanks, do you have a source for the shrouds? Old ones pretty beaten up.

Everything came in. Removed seat & tank. Installed tygon hoses. Clamps from JBM were pretty large so got smaller ones at Autozone. Carbs still falling out. Turning new carb holders so large side was at bottom made no difference. Still considering strapping carbs to engine or frame for support...

Waiting on new carb holders, gaskets & clamps from JBM, Tygon fuel line & angled foam air filters based on recommendations from here. Anyone have carb to frame strap pictures they have installed to support the carbs? Plan to remove tank & do all at one time. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks just ordered 2 Unis.

Anybody got ideas for smaller one for street tracker? Or maybe one that’s offset just a little? Manifolds being replaced & would like to solve this at same time.

Good idea. Had already decided on support strap after new manifolds come in. Also need to figure out new air filter for left side.

No air box on the street tracker so that’s probably big part of the problem. Maybe safety wire the carbs to the frame to remove some of the pressure when I put it back together?

Thanks Mikey, just sent them at email. Like their leaving the tin can off & letting you use automotive type clamps.

Update: put passenger seat Airhawk on & lots more comfortable with just a smigen of air.

Does it slide off or screw off? Don’t want to mess it up.

NGK BP7ES weren’t available at 3 local auto parts. One sold me NGK resistor plugs & said would work. Nope. Apparently ceramic insulator too cold for spark for this bike. Cleaned old plugs & running good. Ordered new ones from Amazon. Thanks for help guys, I’ll be back soon with more questions.

No, cleaning & trying again.

Thanks, non ethanol from Navarre Wal Mart wasn’t on the list. But I can siphon & refill.

New plugs with 25-30 miles. Too rich right? Newbie & haven’t played with carbs in many years.

Just back from short ride to beach before WX moves in. Engine started running rough. Fresh non ethanol gas, new plugs, air filters clean. Besides rechecking plugs & using carb cleaner, what else should I check?

I agree with most replies. Used Midwest Bobbers 10-11 years ago to change this Shadow 750 & still kept a good ride. Sad to say totaled it when I hit a deer.
