Kickstarting the 73 Ironhead.

Comments on 'Kickstarting the 73 Ironhead.'

1. I don't think that's true. I do know that there were
   specific years that the exhaust would only fit but I can't
   say if it was 73 or not. I want to say 74 was the odd year
   for exhaust.
2. I have the same bike and I heard that the 73 would be very
   expensivr to rebuild because only parts from a 73 engine
   will fit in the 73 engine. Is that true?
3. no choke... no choke!!! your're soooooooooo right man!!!
   learn people!
4. MY bad he talked about fuel pumps
5. I was refering to the post that guy made about bikes not
   having chokes....my panhead likes the extra shot as long as
   i prime it out....my evo bobber likes one full throttle
   while prime kicking but she acts different depending on the
   weather...ride hard !!!!!
6. Oh, by the way, I forgot to comment on how beautiful that
   Pan is that you have. Very nice man! Well done!
7. That's an SS Super E on my bike. What do you think I'm
   doing when I snap the throttle. You don't want to use that
   "choke" that SS has unless you absolutely have to. It's not
   a choke at all. It just dumps raw fuel into the carb and
   then you foul out your plugs a lot quicker.
8. You obviously dont own the SS super series....nice little
   accel pump. most starts just open throttle key off prime
   pump 3 times then let it rip...choke as needed.
9. shit. that sounds/looks good. now you onlyneed a cape,
   sunglasses and a big o shotgun
10. sick ass bike! man!
11. nice bike bro. Hope ya still got it, and put the wind in
    your face with her. Ride Safe and Live Free !!!!!!!
12. You know what, I think you're right and I spoke too soon,
    LOL. After I did some research, I found out that carbs like
    yours do indeed have accelerator pumps so you are indeed
    doing the right thing. To be honest, Harley's aren't my
    strong suit (obviously, LOL). I've had metric bikes all my
    life, but would sure like to find a nice vintage '72 Harley
    someday since that's my birth year.
13. I never knew that. I thought that S and S was like my dad's
    Mikuni. When you crank on the throttle you can see it
    squirt fuel into the carb. BTW I've got a video of him
    doing a burnout on my main page.
14. Nice bike......only one year newer than I am, LOL.
    BTW....had to comment on your starting procedure though
    where you "pump" the gas prior kicking 'er
    over.....motorcycle carbs don't have accelerator pumps so
    all you're doing there is opening and shutting the throttle
    butterfly, not squirting raw gas into the intake like on
    carbureted cars and trucks.
15. Thanks. I'm looking at getting that frame myself.
16. 2 1/4 40 degree. It feels just right with that light
    Ironhead. Handles like a dream. Just takes a while to get
    it turned around sometimes. It's a paughco frame from the
    80's.
17. What's the rake on that?
18. Awsome bike, check mine out
19. Now THAT is an awesome bike!
20. where did you get those pipes ? gotta get a set for my 73
    xlch
21. Whats up. Do you know what knid of cams you have in? I just
    bought a set of andrews "Y" grinds, and was hopeing that
    they sound like that. Awsome iron by the way.
22. You see ticked out bikes, wild paint, and all other kinda
    mods on here... but this bike is ACES!!! Sweet man! "Keep
    the shiny side up"
23. Very cool bike man!!!!
24. VERY nice all around...love the mags. ...There's a rumor
    that HD is going to add a kick-start a on their new bikes.
25. Bro! cool bike!!! love the sound man!
