Title: Re: Sportster carb Post by LANCER on 02/09/10 at 15:27:07 A late model stock sporty carb is a CV type carb, similar to our own, and they can be set up on our bikes but will of course need to be rejetted with at least pilot and main jets I would suspect, and very possibly with different needle jet and jet needle. Slap it on the engine and see if fires up as is.................. then go from there. |

Title: Re: Sportster carb Post by T Mack 1 - FSO on 02/10/10 at 10:04:39 It might be real, real lean. Remember that carb is running two cylinders but only one at a time, and they are only 441.5 CC's each...... Note: After market Sportster carbs in J&P catalog are 38mm, but my 1100cc Sporty has a 34 mm Keihin (non-cv) carb. |

Sportster carbs have accelerator pumps. (Both the CV style and the Keihin BH style on my '86). That means a quick hit of the throttle gives a slightly faster response. |

Title: Re: Sportster carb Post by pitbullcustoms on 02/11/10 at 14:11:27 ok so i had a brain fart for some reason i thought there carb supplied full to both cylinders at once so i have found that the harley softtail has a 40mm carb and i believe an accelerator pump as well so as soon as i get some money im going to order one and give her a go |

Title: Re: Sportster carb Post by DrT on 02/11/10 at 14:31:01 When I converted my 833 to 1200 (600cc per cylinder) I didn't need to change carb. I just changed the main jet. The only difference in a stock 883 and a stock 1200 is the main jet in a 883 is a 160 and a 1200 is a 170. I reckon that the 883 carb with a 170 main would probably work fine in a savage. |
