If your carb is stock, it should have a #45 slow speed jet in it for this area. I'd go to either a #48 or a #50 slow jet. I live in Forsyth, Ga. and I usually put the #48 in most Twin Cam 88 bikes that have changed the exhaust or are popping back out of the carb. If you think this is the problem try changing the jet. I don't know what the altitude is in Las Vegas and I have no idea if Harley rejets the carb for different areas. The CV carb usually is not that sensitive to altitude like the older type carbs were. The Idle Speed Stop Screw is located at the top right of the carb. Turn the inwards (clockwise) to increase the idle speed.
If you bike is fuel injected, you'lll have to take it to a shop to have this problem corrected.
If the gas is higher that the carb it will not have a fuel pump. Have you unhooked the fuel at the carb to see if fuel is getting to the carb? If it is not you have a blockage in the tank or fuel line or a clogged filter. If fuel is reaching the carb you have a stuck needle.
i have a troy bilt riding mower,i start the mower it only runs for 15 to 25 min's ,so i changed the coil to see if it would run long. but after a few minunts it stop again so i don't know if maybe it's my carb. what could it be.... help
By the year, which in this case is 2000. The factory stopped using the butterfly type on Sportsters somewhere around 1988 I think. But they are defitnely not on the 2000 unless someone has put it on. There also should be sticker on the side of the carby telling you it is a CV and what year. If all that fails take the air cleaner off and have a look down the carby, there should be a slide inside which you can lift upwards. This works of a vaccumn when the engine is running hence the constant velocity "CV"
"That's actually not a carb, it's throttle body injection. Honda stopped using carbs on cars in 1987" yes thats in america but it might have been imported!!!
as for the twin cam your not explaining exactly what you want to do????
if your on about changing engine then get back to me
