I have been on the website and they don't even acknowledge this carburator. I have not actually spoken witrh them
It needs a kit with a new needle seat and they don't make them anymore. I can rebuild it if I had the parts Last edited by Hobbit; Oct 5th, 2009 at 03:16 PM. |

Re: Sportster Carb
Many carbs use similar parts the float needle from a bing carb from a bmw fitted and worked on a harley cv carb
the rubber coating on the tip of the float needle hardens and prevents a liquid tight seal may be worth taking the float needle to a carb specialist or a tuning shop or an independant motrcycle dealer and see what the have thats the same or similar Brian |

Re: Sportster Carb
Thanks for all the info guys. Hobbit's suggestion that I try Sudco worked. I just went and picked up a new kit for $35.00. They even have brand new carbs of the same model. I don't know if the guys at the hog shop don't know about them or just to lazy to deal with it. But now I know. Thanks again
