Default 94 Softail Custom - Carburetor Make/model ID

Hello. I am trying to ID the carburetor on my 94 softail custom so that I get the correct rebuild kit. The only identifier on the carb other than harley logo and words "harley davidson" is on the right side, it says "91YA". Any help is appreciated in pointing me in the right direction!

Be careful if you mess with the float, they can be tricky to adjust. Also, the Phillips head screws that hold the float bowl on can be a bear to get off without stripping the heads. When you get them off, best to replace them with some Allen head screws. A Harley shop manual offers valuable guidance, well worth whatever $ you spend on it. Good luck!

If they don't have it, you don't need it.
