> [@venompwr2](#): > > It’s an S&S super E carb. I didnt do any of the jetting or setup on it, so I don’t know that it’s even correct to start with or what the deal is. The motor was fully rebuilt, and this carb was previously on the bike before the rebuild, and I doubt it was setup correctly when put back on. Pain in the ass, worse that my pan is kick only and I hae to play with the dizzy to get it to fire. It don’t matter how I jet it or adjust it its awlays rich. ---

> [@XwalkerX](#): > > i would read up on it and try your best to tune it but ive heard those are a real pain in the dick carb to deal with… (esp when trying to start the bike) Perhaps I should get my pipes sorted out before trying to monkey with this carb then, rather than having to rejet it again. Hopefully it’s not too much of a problem, but since I can’t get it to idle at the moment I don’t have any idea how it rides, so that may be another thing to deal with. ---

Wedding gift from my uncle pete!! Either my dad or pete has owned it since 1971, and now it’s all mine. 1970 bultaco enduro 250 2 stroke. A street legal 2 stroke that will never run.

Lol it runs right now, but it’s going to be a bitch to find parts… Note how the kick start is on the left side. Shifter is on the right. So weird! ---
