What carb should I get?

They are complete junk because even "IF" you can get them to perform, they can't be serviced on the road easily...
They require taking the carb off the bike to even check the float bowl or change a main... Flawed design.... I hate them with a passion.... CV's have been a large thorn in my a$$ always...

You can check the float bowl level with the carb still on the bike, the manual just doesn't provide the measurements when the carb is in that position, but you could find out your self once you have properly adjusted it off the bike. You can change jet sizes as well, you can do alot with it still on the bike. Not sure if there is enough space to take the top off though. I never owned a different carb on my bike so I can not compare it to other ones. From my minimal experience of tuning my carb, I can tell you it took a pretty long time, but that could have been due to my lack of experience, knowledge, lots of variables could be involved. You could probably find parts to a CV carb alot easier on the side of the road than compared to other carbs.

It may be legally registered all right, but by the frame #. If it's ever inspected carefully by any kind of law enforcement, ground off # on the engine usually means it gets impounded. That may not be the case here. I don't claim to know everything, it could have come from a police impound sale. I bought a stolen and recovered bike one time like that. If it was mine i'd make damn sure it was completely legal before i did anything to it.
