How To Upgrade 1982 Flt Carburettor On A Harley Davidson Motorcycle Shovelhead Engine?
The most common upgrade on shovelhead is an S&S carb. You’ll need to order from an after market producer. You should know if you have a 74″ motor, most common for ShovelHeads or an 80″, only built 1/2 year. Superior Cycle Supply in New York is reasonable and quick response if still in business. S&S OEMs for carbs is the most popular replacement for factory carbs to this day. Have your specs ready when placing order. Also make sure your jets match and keep a close eye on your coil. Coils fail frequently on ths motor, unless you install electronic ignition on these motors. Been there, done that, have given most of what I know, but feel free to contact if more questions.
