What is involved with installing a kit?

Installation of one of our supercharger kits is relatively straight forwards and can be easily accomplished by anyone who has access to basic tools and is familiar with basic air-cooled maintenance such as setting your points and timing and adjusting your valves.

Installation is definitely easier with the engine removed but this is not absolutely necessary.

Basic installation involves the following steps

  • Swap crank pulley
  • Loosen fan shroud and remove existing manifold
  • Install new manifold
  • Remove fuel pump
  • Install supercharger and stand
  • Connect throttle cable
  • Install electric fuel pump
  • Modify distributor.
  • Tune and drive.
