71 FLH used a kit from Drag and nothing was right . Looking around I believe there is a 38mm and a 40mm .
Number on my carb is 27152-71
and the kits are for 27132-71
I believe my indy got me the wrong kit but I am unable to find one for my number carb.
Any help appreciated

 

the 71 part number is a Bendix carb and its 38mm

 

the rebuild kit for the bendix zenith carb comes in two flavors. One is imported, the other, more expensive kit is made in the USA. You want the made in USA kit. The last time I looked, you could get either kit from any of the taiwan ted parts dealers. I've heard that the accelerator pump in the imported kit is the wrong length.

Thanks Guys . I'll have to look for an American made kit. Gaskets didn't fit right , were the wrong size , Acc. pump leather was cut crooked and much too large and idle screw was boogered on the end. All in all the Drag kit was crap.

 

I have a 73 FLH and ran into the same issue .. That chinese stuff does not come close ..

 

Put an S&S Super E on it and live happily ever after.

 

 

Just trying to keep it as close to OEM as possible.

 

Mixed up old and new this am. Shes running alright. Just have to revisit the valve adjustment.
Out riding yesterday , temps in the mid 70's and ice/snow watch today! Love N. E.

 

Yea the North East can be a bitch this time of year. But I'm sure your glad you don't live in Watertown NY.... Snow belt country.....
