Seems no matter how much I try , I just can't get the carb on the
1990 Ultra to quit dribblin' gas . Unsurprisingly after 121,000 miles,
it has significant wear in the holes in the carb body the the float pin
rides in , which lets the float tilt in the bowl . There is a difference
of about .050 from side to side when setting the float level ... and I'm
not machinist enough to bore them out for bushings . They only used this
carb for 2 years , '90 and '91 so parts are hard to find .
So , anybody got a 40 mm Keihin take off with low mileage they want
to sell ? I've looked online at new ones , Keihins are out of my budget
and I'm leery of the chinese knockoffs .
Have a shot or 3 of this Ezra 99 while you check your parts boxes ...

Dribbling carbs usually come down to two things. Bad gaskets and/or
worn out float needle/seat.
Worse comes to worse this is your chance to throw that EV27 CAM and S&S
E series carb on it. Besides I love the race track method S&S taught
for tuning that carb just right. LOL. Not easy and takes lots of
excess time, but lots of fun.
Now if only you could find an old set of White Bros 2:1 headers for it
and you would be set.
