To facilitate an easy start of the vehicle’s engine, the following throttle control sequence is recommended.
Always ensure transmission is in the NEUTRAL position. Your American IronHorse motorcycle comes equipped with
an S&S
®
carburetor. Please follow these appropriate starting instructions:
A.
FOR COOL WEATHER (lower than 55°F) AND COOL ENGINE:
•
Turn fuel petcock (located on bottom of left tank) to ON position (Figures
6.1
and
6.2
).
•
Twist throttle control grip counterclockwise (toward operator) two times and return grip to engine idle
position (Figures
9 1
and
9 3
).
•
Pull up enrichener lever to its maximum extended position. Lever is located just above and to the rear of
the S&S
®
air cleaner cover (Figure
1 0
) .
•
Start engine.
•
Twist throttle control grip as required to keep engine running.
•
After engine has run for a period long enough to warm up (usually no longer than two minutes), depress
the enrichener to the OFF position.
CAUTION: If enrichener is left on while throttle is actuated, the spark plugs will foul and cause the motor to perform
poorly. To correct a fouled plug condition, remove and replace.
