Default carb - what to do...

I can not get this junk to quit leaking fuel... So, my question is, what is the part number for an 04 883xl sportster? Looking to buy a new one.. I have found one part number 27731-04 for sale, will it work?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure all the carbs are the same except for the jetting. they are jetted for displacement. where it's leaking? Have you picked up a rebuild kit?

I've been through it, rebuilt it, then the shop built it... It stopped leaking for about 200 miles and now is back to leaking. Time for it to go!

if you have any mods you can send it in an get a killer carb that's build for your mode:

I think it's a hundred bucks more to buy it outright.
