 From 1986-1987, the stock Sportster carburetor was a Keihin 34mm, fixed-venturi "​butterfly"​ model, as used on the Ironhead models from 1979 onward (BT models still used the 38mm version). Contrary to popular folklore, all Keihin non-CV carbs did come with accelerator pumps. From 1986-1987, the stock Sportster carburetor was a Keihin 34mm, fixed-venturi "​butterfly"​ model, as used on the Ironhead models from 1979 onward (BT models still used the 38mm version).

 == Operation: == == Operation: ==
-  *  The carburetor atomizes gas in proper proportions to the air  pulled in through the air intake. At idle, a small amount of gas is siphoned through the pilot jet by the incoming air. The more the throttle is opened, the air begins siphoning through the main and needle ​jets. The tapered needle increases the flow of the needle jet as it is lifted since it's taper gets smaller ​as it sets inside the needle jet thus allowing for more flow when lifted up and out. Vacuum from carbs intake,the engine ​side of the throttle plate, is used to lift the slide barrelneedle jet. At full throttle, the carburetor venturi is fully opened and the needle is lifted far enough to allow the main jet to flow at full jet capacity. The choke circuit is actually ​the starting ​enrichment valve system. The choke knob opens an enrichment valve. With the choke knob in the open positionthe slow jet sends a stream of gas into the carburetor'​s ​venture ​thus enriching the gas/air mixture when the engine is cold. The accelerator pump circuit injects a fine spray of gas into the carburetor intake during sudden ​acceleration ​to reduce engine hesitation.+  *  The carburetor atomizes gas in proper proportions to the air pulled in through the air intake. The throttle plate controls the amount of air flow. At idle, a small amount of gas is siphoned through the pilot jet by the incoming air and fed thru the Idle Port on the engine side of the throttle plateAs the throttle ​plate is opened ​farther, the air begins siphoning ​gas through the transfer ports (which are fed by the Pilot Jet) and eventually pulls gas thru the needle ​jet (which is fed by the main jet). The tapered needle, which moves up and down thru the fixed diameter needle jet, increases the flow of fuel as it is lifted ​up since it's taper gets smaller inside the needle jetthus allowing for more flow when lifted up and out. The vacuumin the air filter ​side of the throttle plate, is used to lift the slide barrel ​needle jet. At full throttle, the carburetor venturi is fully opened and the needle is lifted far enough to allow the main jet to flow at full jet capacity. The choke circuit is actually ​an enrichment valve system ​to allow more fuel at startup. With the choke knob pulled outa separate ​jet opening ​sends a stream of gas into the carburetor'​s ​venturi, on the engine side of the throttle plate, ​thus enriching the gas/air mixture when the engine is cold. The accelerator pump circuit injects a fine spray of gas into the carburetor intake during sudden ​twisting of the throttle ​to aid acceleration & reduce engine hesitation.
