Vintage Harley Flathead 45 Flattracker - Will it Start? Billy Lane Racer Linkert Carb How To Set Up 

Thank you. So much more to come, I appreciate you watching

What a beautiful bike Billy!!💪🏼 you definitely make it look easy! My 97 BadBoy spun the keyways off the oil pump shaft. I caught it just in time but it’s definitely not easy…! respect to you Billy!!❤💪🏼

Thank you

I totally agree. The whole bike looks SO tough, yet classy........even the colors.

Thank you, these 45’s lay out nice with the 19” wheels

@@BillyLaneChoppers for sure bet it's a lot of fun to ride to!

Thank you. Crazy that it’s basically stock with fenders, seat, & handlebars changed.

Awesome. I don’t usually upload Sunday evenings, but I couldn’t get it done earlier

Thank you. These bike have great lines, especially with the 19-inch wheels.

@@BillyLaneChoppers Aink a Kidding . Any of the racers when that Motor Had it first Breath would have been proud to Race that Bike You gonna ad a Hand Clutch to go with Heal and Toe . Like some of the old Racers did ? . My 82 shovel was set up like that 10 12 years ago I got laffed at . Till a Dad of one of My friends told Him . If you ever do any Mountain Dirt Racing . BE safe Bill 👍

Thank you. It’s a 1938, but factory 1937 color scheme. The 19” wheels & slammed rear fender give it strong proportions.

Thank you, I’m trying to get at least one uploaded each week

I love the art deco Harley-Davidsons from the 1920’s & 1930’s, best styling ever

I love this one. I switched replica wheels & foot controls over for originals, it’s even better now

I’ve been doing this since I was a teenager

@@BillyLaneChoppers however long you’ve been wrenching V-Twins…your knowledge just amazes me!!

Will do

I love it

So much more to come

Thank you, I like how it is turning out

I was racing my 1934 CAC last weekend. It backfired through the Linkert so hard that it blew the choke closed.

Thank you, I love making these

Yes. I’m building a 1927 Harley-Davidson FHAD 2-cam board tracker now, documenting all of the steps. I’ll have it done this summer

@@BillyLaneChoppers Awesome, can't wait🤟

Check for air leaks with starting fluid around your intake manifold before trying to tune the Linkert. If air leaks aren’t your problem, check float adjustment, & make sure someone hasn’t put the wrong needles in your carb body.

@BillyLaneChoppers Thank you. I'll check the needle, it's running smooth now. I couldn't get those seals to seal for some reason. I thought about trying the wide seals but wasn't sure. Heard good and bad on them, too. Thanks again for the tip

@@waynemorgan3095 Glad to learn that it has smoothed out. When the Linkert Model M was designed, gasoline was leaded & had a typical octane rating of 55. They weren’t designed to run on unleaded, high octane fuels. So temper your expectations, but know that you can get fairly reasonable reliability and consistency with your L&L. Good luck

@@BillyLaneChoppers Thanks for the info. Appreciate it

Thank you, I’m very happy with it

I know

I’ve used this white stuff successfully for decades

Six-inches. Factory 45 tanks have them built in, you should be able to see it inside the tank filler spigot. These are replica racing tanks, they come with nothing. Without a return tube, the oil will sump your engine’s bottom end

Didn’t you watch the video? I explained it thoroughly

Thank you. You know it’s a weekend morning if it’s in one of my videos. 1991, ref 16700.

I’ve never had a problem using teflon in gasoline

I’m moving back to Tennessee, if it makes you feel better
