Friend of mine has a 1994 Tour Glide. His Indy says he really needs to replace the carb. What would be the most economical solution? If I'm understanding what I am seeing, if he goes to a S&S, he has to change intake, breather, etc.
Thanks.

 

Used CV. Awesome carburetor! Everything should swap back over, just replace seals from intake. 3 of them.
Good luck,
Tom

 

I like s&s but rebuild old carb unless you really want new.

 

there's a service on ebay called killer carbs...kinda pricey but you send them your cv carb an they give it a rebuild an performance worker an send it back, about $200. Tell them your set up or what you plan an they build it to match.

 

I'm curious as to why the mechanic recommends a carb replacement.

The OEM CV carb is a good carb for the 80" EVO. Get the original re-worked or buy a good used one and have it tuned to the setup. If he's got cruise control on his bike, going to an aftermarket carb will require the correct cable bracket to make it work.

Just sayin'....

 

I'm no carb guy, but the story is there is a pin that has something to do with the float level. This pin goes in a round hole, but over the years the hole has worn from round to more of egg shaped and is not letting the float function correctly. So, the carb "housing" is the problem not the inter parts. That's how it was explained??

 

Pick up a good used stock CV carb. They are good for engines up to about 90 hp.

That pin is basically lightly pressed in and is directional. Meaning it is only removed one way (one direction, an arrow in the casting points the way). I wonder if it was forced the wrong way in the past and that is part of the reason... YD

 

Recommendation on where to purchase one? Really appreciate the input.

 

Fleabay, or classifieds here....

 

Thanks very much.
