Re: Musings on the SU carb
As another thought you can make a simple plate adapter with a butterfly to mount between the carb and air cleaner. 3/8'' or 1/2'' thick is all it would need to be. Pirate a butterfly at or slightly...

Re: Musings on the SU carb
Have you leaned the bike far enough to get the gas coming out of the over flow. Then throttle closed to do prime kicks. As you say your bike may not respond to this, but be assured many do.

Re: 1977 ironhead battery??
Battery, Group Size B16-B, 260 CCA I would be in the lead acid conventional battery camp. So in your case make a tray to fit. Group B16 have been a OEM battery back to 1971 FX Superglide.

Re: Musings on the SU carb
Anything that raises fuel level in bowl enrichens the mixture. Your idle circuit with the throttle closed draws more fuel. Also the tipping till fuel over flows gives you the most you can get in the...

Re: Musings on the SU carb
You can lean the bike to the right to get a rich condition, then upright and start it. Not a tickler pushing the float down, but gets more gas in the float bowl and that enrichens the mixture.
