I got 2 like that. One says Keihin (has the plastic mixture adjustment) and one says Harley-Davidson. Once rebuilt they run great.

Been running the Ka-sneeze as well as the old reliable Bendix since most of ya's was Shittin Green... or Ridin Rice...
Nuthin in the world wrong with either one... the S&S is just a Glorified Bendix...
One should learn to Tune yer ****...
BTW set 7 national records [National] with a Bendix carb... even when Sponsored by S&S...
Never heard nor seen a Harley "Burned Up" by any Carb... only the Jockey at the Joy Switch!!!!!

now that I think back it may not have been the carb I use to run a foam element the original Harley
one it would soak in fuel anyway mine would go up in flame even had to put it out in front of the Harley dealer
a few times it would backfire and that's when the fire would come
