I just got my '74 Superglide running this past weekend. She's been sitting out in the garage patiently waiting for the last 10 yrs. I had an incident with a deer,(not the green kind) in Dec. '97. I broke both legs, 4 ribs, and cracked my sternum. Over the years, I've kicked the the bike through, shot some oil in the cylinders, Fixed up my old truck, '53 F-100, Started working on my old car, '69 Mustang. Now, with the gas prices the way they are. The old bike starting calling to me. I bought a used set of wideglide forks, dug out my old set of fatbob tanks, new handlebars and controls, rear fender, and a new battery. Did some rewiring, mice got to mine too. I had to free up a stuck carb float. She started right up on the 4th kick. she puked a bit oil out the breather for a bit, but she was running. I had that bike since '83, when I was a young Sub sailor in Chas. S.C. I been all up and down the east coast with her. plus 3 of the Hawaiian islands. Hearing that bike run again is special. I've had some of the best times of my life with her. Had a few bad ones too. I'm going to get her on the road shortly, got a couple of minor things to get straightened out. Got to rebuild the rear brake caliber, I'm going to weld up one of those trick axel mounted taillights I've seen around. Going to be great to be riding again. Jack

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
