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, which still had no accelerator pump.
In 1989 and thru 2006, the Keihin CV40 carburetors were produced with an accelerator pump to smooth out initial throttle response.

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. I.E. one way to display a year/ model number is displayed differently in other year books. This chart is not complete nor factual in numbering but as an example only. For instance:
Parts Book | Description | For Model(s) | Part fits model(s) | Notes |
86-90 | 00000-86 | 88 - * XL1200 | (88-90) XL1200 | Easy to understand, * means to the last date the book covers |
86-90 | 00000-86 (86-87 883) | 90-XL1200 | (86-87) XL883 & (90) XL1200 | Little harder (more to think about) |
86-90 | 00000-86 | 86-* all models | (86-90) XL883 all & (88-90) XL1200 | Easy to understand, blankets all models 1200 first made in 1988 but it leads you to believe they were made from '86 |
86-90 | 00000-86 00000-86 (Cal) | 89-* XL1200 88-* XL1200 | (89-90) XL1200 - (49 state)except California (88-90) XL1200 - California only | No suffix after desc. means domestic models (Cal) after suffix is California models only |
91-92 | 00000-86 (91-Cal) | 91-* XL1200 | (91-92) Xl1200 (domestic) (91) Xl1200 (California) | Both Cal and Dom models |
93-94 | 00000-87 (93-Cal) 00000-86 | 93-* XL883 93-* XL883 | (93-94) Xl883 (California) only (93-94) XL883 all models | Reads it but doesn't mean for Domestic Domestic (49 state models) |
Found and documented discrepancies are in the chart below. I'm sure I didn't list them all 56)
Engine | XL883 | XL1200 | ||||
2004 FSM (erroneous info)57) | 49 State | California | HDI, Swiss | 49 State | California | HDI, Swiss |
Main Jet Corrected Size 58) | 175 | 180 | 170 | 180 | 185 | 160 |
2002, 2003 Parts Catalogs show a Cali 883R carb but no jet sizes or other carb parts. Listed same year 883 (Cali) data.59) |
||||||
1999, 2000 Parts Catalogs do not list part number for a (Cali) main jet size for the 1200S. Listed same year (Dom) jet sizes.60) |
||||||
1999, 2000 Parts Catalog does not list part number for a (Cali) main jet size for the 883C. Listed same year (Cali) 883 jet sizes.61) |
||||||
1998 Parts Catalog shows a 170 and a 195 main jet for Dom 1200S. Verified with 1998 HD Sportster FSM to be a 195.62) |
||||||
1998 Parts Catalog pg 135 lists differences between the mid-year intro 883C and 883Std. Reads other than what's listed, use 883Std parts. No carb parts listed so Std 883 specs used.63) |
||||||
1998 Parts Catalog pg 23 shows Swiss 1200S with (27114-88) 180 main jet but no main jet for HDI. Also there is no jet needle specified for Swiss 1200S Listed jet sizes from 1998 HD FSM pg 4-1 showing Swiss (195), HDI (190). Also listed Swiss 1200S jet needle as same year HDI 1200S 64) |
||||||
1998 Parts Catalog shows 1200S (Dom) main jet as a 170 (27115-88). Corrected to a 195 main jet with the 1998 HD XLH FSM pg 4-1.65) |
||||||
1993-1994 Parts Catalog makes it impossible to verify a main jet without the FSM to translate; | ||||||
27115-88 Main Jet (Late 1992 and Later 883 Cal.) 93-94 All Models | Translates to Cal 883 (170) & Dom 1200 (170)66) | |||||
27152-89 Main Jet (1200 HDI and Swiss) 93-94 All Models | Translates to Dom, HDI/Swiss 883 (160) & HDI/Swiss 1200 (160)67) | |||||
27185-90 Main Jet (Cal only) L93-94 1200 | Normal listing which is a Late 93-94 Cal 1200 (185)68) | |||||
1991-1992 Parts Catalog is confusing to show (Cal)1200 main jet as: (170) 27115-88 - main Jet (Dom) - 92 and on * -all models.69) | ||||||
1991-1992 Parts Catalog is confusing to show (Cal)883 main jet as: (160) 27152-89 - main Jet (1991 Cal & Swiss; 1992 & later All 883, 1200 HDI & Swiss - 1991-1992 models. Doesn't seem to group (Cal)883 into the 92 models. Verified with 1991-1992 FSM pg 4-170) | ||||||
1990 Parts Catalog does not list a main jet for an XL1200 (Domestic) model. Verified with the 1986-1990 FSM pg 4-1.71) |
||||||
1986-1990 Parts Catalog has an errant main jet #27154-88 for (Cal) 883s. Confirmed as a 155 with the 1986-1990 Sportster FSM pg 4-1, cross referenced to serial #27154-89 72)73) | ||||||
1986-1990 Parts Catalog is very confusing on export model carb info. I.E., The carb numbers are (all with no accel pump): 27491-89 / (Swiss only) / 89-90 XLH1200 27492-89 / Swiss only / 89-90 XLH883 All Models 27501-88 / HDI only-1989 & later / 88-90 XL883 All Models 27502-88 / HDI only-1989 & later / 88-90 XLH1200 These are the only main jets designated for export motors: 27102-89 / Main Jet (Swiss only) / 89- XLH 883 All Models 27104-89 / Main jet (Swiss only) / 89-90 All Models These are the only slow jets designated for export motors: 27117-88 / Slow jet (Swiss only-1989) / 88 & 89 All Models These are the only needle jets designated for export motors: 27164-89 (Swiss only) / 89- XLH 883 All models 27165-89 (Swiss only) / 89- XL1200 Everything else is either designated Domestic or California engines. 74) |
