27886_78a is the part number shown in the parts list for 1993/1994 for sportsters and big twins and i just checked it is still a valid part number and should fit yours Brian
Don't have a 89 parts book but a 1993 883 model uses a #27489-92 & a 1200 model uses a #27487-92, These would have accelerator pumps on them that the 1989 didn't, sorry all the info I have.
Pike1612, I believe this is related information you are looking for, using Google... 420556 (1642639-001) Float Needle and Clip 1989 Harley Davidson XLH1100 OEM Parts, 1989 Harley Davidson XLH1100 OEM Motorcycle Parts - BikeBandit.com But I would trust Fin_676 regarding part numbers as he has the experience with this...
Sorry Pike I gave you the carb number last post, Brian you you covered on the 93 part number, there goes my image again
Aye perhaps chop is working too hard and its the end of the day that he has on the forum so then a wee error every now and then can happen so dont give him too much of a hard time boss :s Brian
im pretty sure i have an early cv carb with a -88 part number in the shed and the float needle definatley fitted the 92 softail carb but being the float needle is -78 part number it was perhaps fitted to a lot of different carbs not just the cv Brian
