Re: CV carb on my 1953 pan
I have a CV off my 99 road king that was used only one year before it was replaced with a Mikuni, Wanna trade? Mike

Re: CV carb on my 1953 pan
Ozwick,
Yeah, if you have to go out and buy everything it adds up a bit. Most of those things can be found really cheap at swap meets, but if you are stuck buying new, it's a bit more pricey.
You can use any CV from an EVO or TC88 and most CV from sportsters. They all have the accelerator pump except the very earliest sportster CV. I've used them as old as 1990. Avoid the current Buell Blast CV. It does not have an accelerator pump.
henriksonne,
Use a CV40 for your 61" panhead. The CV40 is very happy on the smaller motors too.

Hi Craig
Got a chance to buy a original 38mm CV from a 883 sporster. Will that be okay, or would you say the CV40 is a better choice? It is with acc pump.

Henrik,
I believe if you actually measure the inside diameter of a CV40 is comes out to 38mm. What year is the 883 Carb you can purchase? If it has an accelerator pump, I'm sure it will be plenty of carb for your 61" motor.

Ozwic, I just thought if henricsonny didn't like his edelbrock quicksilver I would gladly trade him a CV for it!

Re: CV carb on my 1953 pan
I am switching to a Mikuni and have an old Quicksilver II carb (Edelbrock) that I am looking for a new home for. Anybody interested? I just want it to get used. Will add some pics later today.
