CV carbs are great .... but those early ones are problematic because of the lousy float design
get a later one (92+) off ebay and rebuild it with parts from CV Performance... or, send it to Dale at Killer Carbs and he'll do it, and polish it up nicely too

Yes I had it rebuilt by a professional and it helped but didn't fix it.

I put a Mikuni HSR42 on my 98 Wide Glide back in 07. I love the throttle response! It's never leaked fuel. Last year I started having some starting and idle issues so I stripped it, cleaned it and installed a rebuild kit. Good as new. I've never changed jetting from my 1000 foot elevation here to around 9000 feet and down below sea level. The only other issue I remember having was my accelerator pump screw moved so I had to put some thread locker on it.
