    i removed the carb this am.....to put the new chrome parts on. it smelled funky. i got a rebuild kit from ken, a while back. i knew it would need rejetting due to the up grading we did to the engine. i waited to rebuild it cause i wanted to make sure it fired up first. cv is the type of carb on the bike. i rebuilt the original carb that came on your bike.....
