Title: Bendix carb on S&S manifold???
Post by: Reddog74usa on April 14, 2024, 10:00:16 AM
Was considering installing the stock Bendix carb on my 75 FXE using an S&S intake. Anyone ever experience issues with this? Just thought using the S&S intake may be a good idea if I wanted to go to an S&S or other type of carb in the future.

Well I guess I'll give it a try and see what happens. Matched up the stock and S&S manifolds and they don't look so far off that it would not have a good seal using the Bendix carb.

I've been trying to remember what I did with my '75 but it's been over 40 years.
Give it a shot & see what happens. If you run into any problems maybe it will jog my memory.
