The Edelbrock Performer Series Carburetor has five (5) adjustments: 1. IDLE SPEED: Mechanical, raises and lowers slide to preferred idle RPM. 2. IDLE MIXTURE (900-1200rpm): Controlled by air bleed. 3. MID RANGE (1300-3500rpm): Controlled by needle setting/size. 4. FULL RANGE (3600-6000rpm): Controlled by main jet. 5. ACCELERATOR PUMP (Off Idle Throttle Response): Controlled by bypass screw on float bowl. Edelbrock Performer Series carburetors require the use of a two-cable (push-pull) throttle assembly and cables. Quick Kits and Complete Kits include throttle cable adaptors for use with OE CV throttle cables. For early EVO Big Twin (84-89) and EVO Sportster (86-87) ,OE cables can be used without any adaptors. Shovel Head and Iron Sportster will require use of Edelbrock throttle cables. Models not equipped with a dual cable throttle assembly will require one. Edelbrock offers an economical dual cable throttle assembly part #8273. Edelbrock cables can be used in place of OE cables on all EVO and Twin Cam applications. CARBURETOR REMOVAL Edelbrock recommends consulting an authorized service manual for make, model and year of motorcycle before disassembly of stock parts. 1. Turn fuel valve off before getting started. 2. Disconnect battery to eliminate the possibility of sparks or accidentally engaging the starter. 3. Remove air cleaner assembly. 4. Disconnect choke cable from its bracket. 5. Disconnect fuel line and vacuum lines from carburetor. 6. Gently remove carburetor from manifold. MANIFOLD REQUIREMENTS Edelbrock Quick Kits and Complete kits are designed to work with the stock manifold that was OE on your engine. Some aftermarket manifolds will also work with Edelbrock carburetors. S&S “E” Series and Screamin’ Eagle flange mount manifolds will work with Edelbrock flange style carburetors. CARBURETOR INSTALLATION Edelbrock carburetors come out of the box ready to be installed onto the engine. 1. Remove right side cable bracket end and install throttle cables into cable wheel with the “pull” cable locating in the 8:00 position of the cable wheel and the “push” cable locating in the 11:00 position of the cable wheel. See Fig. 1. AIR CLEANER INSTALLATION.
