Question Carburetor Identification

Have a '94 Electra Glide that I bought at a dealer used. Since then my throttle cable has broken twice. It doesn't have the stock carb on it cuz the stock throttle cable didn't fit at all. I got an S&S cable from the dealer and still had to modify it to work. Is there an EASY way to identify what Make & Model of Carb I have on my bike without tearing it apart? I need to know cuz I now have to lean out my carb after making my exhaust a true dual exhaust. Runs so rich now I am only getting about 26 mpg.. can barely get 140 miles before I have to hit reserve..

Any help is appreciated..

( ...and yes....I did a search and nada came up...)

Is it held to the intake manifold with a 2 bolt flange or slip fit into a rubber sleeve?
Good quality pics are best, minus the air cleaner and backing plate to help identify.
Your bike should have a Keihin CV carb on it and it uses the rubber slip fit sleeve to seal up on the manifold, no bolts.

A photo or two will help, so we can see if there is anything obviously different about it. In my experience with four different carbs on my 1990 bike they all used the stock cables.

Break out the flashlight...the carb says on it what it is... be it Keihin, S & S or Minuki

If you've broken cables twice already,you need to learn how to adjust them.
