I put a CV carb on my '89 FLHTC. Can anyone give me the parts number for thr throttle and idle cable? Any mid-90s model with CV would work. Thanks.

throttle #56327-90 length 37.6" Idle #56328-90 length 38.1" fit among other models a 90-95 FLHTC. Hope this helps.

 

Thank you sir. That will work.

hey, when you put the CV carb on did you have to change the manifold? i have a 1984 flhtc was going to rebuild the carb, but then think of going to cv... i seen some on ebay...dont know what to use.......

 

I have been told you also need: (1) The manifold, as the carbs mount different, (2) The choke cable is different, (3) The throttle cables are different and your stockers probably need replacincing by now, (4) The air cleaner. Look for one that has the choke cable and manifold if you can find it. I am thinking of doing it too. A local has one he removed with a jet kit done and everything I need for $250.... plenty .... but all good and it is nice. Good luck!!!

 

ya, think i might do it but for now i will just rebuild the old carb.... did you ever get a faring for your bike? i found one.....

 

That's funny. I saw your other thread about rebuilding and was going to suggest you get a CV carb. Don't bother rebuilding the Keihin butterfly. The CV carb is one of the better upgrades for a pre-90 big twin Evo. Sporters got the CVs earlier.

Anyway, Idintdoit covered some of the things you need, but you can do it for cheap. What you need: 1) throttle and idle cables 2) differernt manifold 3) different backplate 4) air filter

You can use the old air filter cover. The best way to do this is go see your Indy guy who's been around for a while. He's got all that in the attic. You can get all those (- cables) for less than $100. Get a 1993 or later because they have accel pump.

Heck, I've yet to get the cables, because I had an extra throttle cable and just running one cable right now.

 

Hmmm cant use the old throttle and idle cables ?

 

well i just found this on ebat... i got it... hope it works..

That's a good deal and right in the ball park. He also put in the brass inlet for you. All you need now is the manifold and cables, and you are set. I'm not sure if the Sportster backplate will work for you. If the holes match up with your cyclinder holes, it may work. If not, a backplate and air cleaner assembly won't set you back much more.
