have used Mukuni and S&S super E on my shovel ( 88 in.) I like the S&S bestJoey said:So all you guys out there on shovels, I'm curious to what you have found to be the best carb to run. I'm mainly concerned with responsiveness/performance and not so worried about ease of use or adjustment.

sounds like it's not adjusted properly I am running a G on my 98" Shovel and I have no problem what so ever....most people buy it throw it on and call it good...alot of adjustments and jet changes will make it ball's to the wall performance...adjust your air first then you need to adjust your accelerator pump till no black smoke comes out when you twist the throttle and if you still don't have it change your main jet up or down it will be no slouch anywhere through the power band unless if your running to big of a cam and or timing is messed up...try that...Joey said:I'm running an E right now. And more then likely I just don't have it set up right. But it's not the most responsive carb I've ever used. It works great if you are WOT and want to dump fuel in the chamber but other then that it's kind of slow to respond.
It's probably just my ignorance though.
