To remove your carburetor, remove the air filter cover, the filter element, and the backing plate. There are two large socket head bolts that hold the backing plate to the heads as well as three small screws that hold the backing plate to the carburetor. On the other side of the bike, remove the fuel line from the petcock and take the choke control cable loose by loosening the nut on the backside and removing it from it's bracket. Loosen the adjustment of the throttle and idle cables at the throttle twist grip getting as much slack as you can in the two cables. Pull the carb out of the intake manifold seal. You may have to wiggle it a bit from side to side to get it out. Then, disconnect the throttle and idle cables from the carburetor linkage. Guide the choke cable out as your take the carb off the engine. There may be a vacuum hose connected to the backside of the carb that goes to the VOES switch. When you reinstall the carb, put a new manifold seal on the opening of the intake manifold. If you remove the intake manifold. leave the four bolts loose and temporarily reinstall the carb and the backing plate. Then tighten the bolts. This aligns the carb and the intake so that everything fits together and you don't have a vacuum leak.

Good Luck
Steve

How to remove baffles 2004 Harley davidson electra glide

If you have stock pipes you can't just remove the baffles . Some people on a budget will take a hammer and a Peace of pipe and knock out the piece that's blocking the center of the exhaust pipe which will give you more sound , but I don't recommend this I really recommend getting some slip ons.

Harley Davidson 1340 Electra glide classic a rattling noise coming from carb side sounds like exhaust rattle only when on tick over and moving slow

I have a Road King, and ONLY at idle I'd get a rattle.

Found it was the rear-most mount on the right hand muffler, even though it's rubber mounted.

A tiewrap fixed that, hidden by the saddle bags.

Adjust clutch cable

If you have a stock cable you need a 9/16 and a 1/2 in. wrench. about 1/2 way downn the cable there is a rubber boot. pull the rubber boot over the adjustment. Loosen the liock nut and adjust the cable so you have aprox 1/8 to 1/16 in. slack in the handle. Re tighten the lock nut and pull the rubber back over the adjustment.
