The carbs reputation is bad. It's tiny bit difficult to tune. But when it works, you get great acceleration and in idle it is very consistent. Even the gas economy is good. I have ridden with mine 10 years. Once I tried S&S Super E for two weeks, but quickly I changed back to Two Throat.
Prices are getting high. But you can still find these on Ebay for 500 - 800 $. Repair kits are also hard to find. You should try old dealers. In Finland
V-Twin City Loimaa or
HotBike.

Maybe it´s not so hard after all. Ask Charley Karling, www.karlingracing.com. He lives in Täby, Sweden and I saw a lot of Tho Throat parts on his shelves as late as yesterday.

ReplyDeleteI have one of the developmental cutaway two-throat s&s carburetors that the original Mr. Smith sent to a mechanical engineer (and Bonneville racer on HD 900 Sportsters) in order to get his take on the flow-bench and operational characteristics of the new and not yet released "Two-Throat racing carb. This is a true piece of S&S History, and carburetor developmenet history. If interested in purchasing this original cutaway PROTOTYPE S&S "TWO_THROAT CARB, I am making it available at 1500.00 USD but only until December 24, 2014. If it is not sold by then, I will have some cash and will be able to keep it...I wouldn't sell it but I am forced to, so this is you serious S&S Cycles collectors to obtain an extremely rare piece of Historical "Unobtainium." Write to me at "BSAR3A75@GMAIL.COM" OR TEXT ME AT (512) 585-6417. Thanks guys, I wanted to offer it here to you first...BC
