1975 ironhead with a keihin carburetor.

So I just bought the rebuild kit and it doesn't come with the float pin spring. Where can i find one and do I need it? Also can I upgrade my 1975 ironhead 1000 to a cv carburetor? I just bought this bike and can't wait to hear her run! All she needs is some carburetor love. Any advice is greatly accepted. Thanks

How about an introduction?

no worries I figured it out! What do you mean introduction?

Usually for the first post most people tell us a little about them and what they ride...Were kind of like a big family here...Not much we can't fix if we put our heads together...

I'm from Tampa Florida I'm 39 and I just bought a 1975 ironhead sporster. She doesn't run yet but not too far from it. The carburetor was in pieces when I got her so I bought a rebuild kit and its on its way soon. I'm very mechanically inclined so I do all my work myself. I'm sure I will run into a few things along the way that I need help on so I started this discussion. This is my first Harley and my second bike. I've always wanted a hog and when I came across this deal I just couldn't pass it up. I'm real excited about her and can't wait to hear her pur. I'm rebuilding this original carb. but plan to upgrade to a s&s super E as soon as I get the funds too. Well I hope this is enough info on me and my latest project. I'm looking forward to talking to everyone on here as I build her up and bring her back to life. It should be a fun and exciting project.

Hi Guys!! I am Adam , 46yrs old, I have a BSA 441 Victor and a 1977 XLH1000. I have a Keihen Screamin eagle carb on the 1977 Harley. Non CV it is a 27FA. My question is. after rebuilding the carb I notice that the Accelerator pump is constatntly spraying gas in the carb. When I crack the throttle open quick it dies. Any suggestions?

I think the Valves in the bottom of the bowl are worn out.? Which I assume you have to get a new bowl to fix. The motor will pull with slow throttle.
