Known Issues

Shovelhead Characteristics:

Shovelheads are known for their distinct character but can be prone to oil leaks from various seals and gaskets, especially as they age. Valve adjustments may be more frequent than modern engines.

Primary Drive Tension:

Correct primary drive chain tension is crucial to prevent premature wear on the chain, sprockets, and clutch components.

Carburetor Tuning:

CV carburetors require periodic adjustment to maintain optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Tuning may be affected by altitude and modifications.

Ignition Timing:

Proper ignition timing is critical for starting, smooth running, and preventing detonation. The manual will detail the procedure for setting this.
