 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.
  
-In 1988, the stock Sportster carburetor was upgraded to a Keihin 40mm, slide-type, constant-velocity model. It was quickly discovered that the lack of an accelerator pump was a shortcoming. To help that situation, a special needle, identified as 27094-88 or N65C, was used to help off-idle performance in the 1988 models.+In 1988, the stock Sportster carburetor was upgraded to a Keihin 40mm, slide-type, constant-velocity model.

 In 1989 and thru 2006, the Keihin CV40 carburetors were produced with an accelerator pump to smooth out initial throttle response. In 1989 and thru 2006, the Keihin CV40 carburetors were produced with an accelerator pump to smooth out initial throttle response.

-The CV40 has an Enrichener Circuit - The knob is labeled '​Choke'​ but that is a misnomer. **It is not a choke**. \\ 
-A choke sends less air into the venture when closed thus richening the mix. \\ 
-An enrichener shoots gas into the venture thus richening the mix. \\ 
-It may seen more semantic to call them different names but it is important to realize that the two have different functions to the same end. \\ 
-(to richen the mix for better starting). \\ 
- 
-{{:​techtalk:​evo:​carb:​enrichener_cable_1_by_hippysmack.jpg?​direct&​300|}} ((photo by Hippysmack)) \\ 
- 
-The enrichener knob should stay open and remain open when pulled out and close without binding when pushed in. \\ 
-Pulled out engages the enrichment circuit and adds extra fuel into the venture. \\ 
-Pushed in closes off the enrichment circuit stopping extra fuel from entering. Read more about it's function [[techtalk:​evo:​carb02#​enrichener_function_choke|here]]. \\ 
-To adjust the knob, gently pull it out to the full length and let go. Do not pull hard or at an angle or it could break the knob. \\ 
-Tension from the plastic nut behind the knob keeps it from pulling back in. If it tries to pull back in on it's own, the plastic nut isn't tight enough. \\ 
-You can tighten it with one hand by hold the knob all the way out with your finger and using you thumb and next finger to tighten. \\ 
-There is no need to take it off the bracket for this. You just want to create enough resistance to keep the knob from pulling in on it's own. \\ 
-**Caution**,​ the plastic nut fits onto plastic threads and should not be tightened too much or the threads will strip. \\

-If the plastic nut has stripped out, you can cut a piece of rubber tubing, ​ slit it long ways and stick it between the nut and the knob when needed. ((cantolina of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=447983)) \\ 
-Then when you remove it, slip it on my throttle cable until the next cold startup. \\

 Upon perusing 1986-2006 Parts Catalogs for carburetor information,​ it's clear that the MoCo was trying to save space in these books at the expense of legibility. Below is a chart showing the initial intentions on the top and the MoCo's mis-interpretations on the bottom. They give no notations (from year to year book) on any changes to the nomenclature.
