Default CV Carb oddity
I have a CV carby on my Ironhead, it is a Harley one but it isn't like the one on all the Evo's I have seen, it has an internal accelerator pump and not the one that sits on the side of the float bowl.......is this an early one? What year would I quote when asking for an overhaul kit???

You should be able to get a number off of the carb, I'd think....

It turns out that on the Harley Parts computer it is listed as "1988 & Later" and there is a pic of the CV carb showing 2 floatbowls...mine is marked (Swiss only)....so I guess they don't have the same carbies in Switzerland....but how it got to New Zealand is another matter...
