I searched but found no information, are the aftermarket CV carbs OK compared to the factory ones? Ive looked for factory ones now and then, many are pretty crusty looking. Ebay seems to have a lot of aftermarket ones but Im suspicious of them. I really dont want to get stuck out in the middle of nowhere.
This will go on a 1984 shovel 80" with sidecar. It gets pretty lousy fuel mileage with the S&S Super E shorty. Id like to gain some range for adventuring in the west, as well as not have issues with altitude. Some places I plan to go will be up to about 11,000 ft, with 9000 ft not uncommon, from a land base of 2300 to 4000 ft, some will be lower at times like Death Valley. The CVs seem to get good comments about fuel mileage and not having to mess with them at varying altitudes.
Whats the best manifold setup to use on a shovel?
