DriveFix Carburetor Rebuild Kit for Harley-Davidson CV40 — Complete CV40 Repair Kit with Choke Cable & Jets (1988–2006 Fit)

DriveFix Carburetor Rebuild Kit with Choke Cable is a complete replacement set engineered to refresh and restore Harley-Davidson CV40 carburetors for a wide range of years and models.

This rebuild kitbundles the essential pieces you need to service CV40 carburetors: gaskets, seals, jets and an included choke cable, plus an idle mixture screw and a small carburetor cleaner for initial prepping. It’s designed to fit many Harley-Davidson motorcycles that shipped with the CV40 carburetor across the 1988–2006 model years, making it a practical choice for owners performing maintenance, restoring older bikes, or swapping worn parts without buying an entire carburetor.

Which Harley-Davidson models and years will this kit work with?

The DriveFix CV40 kit covers a broad list of Harley models that originally used the CV40 carburetor. Compatible ranges include Sportster, Softail, Dyna, Electra Glide, Road King, Super Glide, Wide Glide and more across late 1980s through mid-2000s production years. Always verify your bike’s carburetor model before purchase.

• Sportster 883/1200 (XLH, XL) model years 1988–2006 where CV40 was factory equipment
• Softail, Dyna and Touring models (e.g., Fat Boy, Heritage, Electra Glide) across 1990–2006 ranges
• Super Glide, Road King, Road Glide and Wide Glide variants listed for 1990–2006
• Check your manual or inspect the carburetor casting to confirm CV40 compatibility

What parts are included, and how do they help during a rebuild?

The package supplies a full set of wear items needed to refurbish a CV40: new gaskets and O-rings to prevent leaks, jets and needles to restore metering, and a choke cable to replace frayed or seized linkages. The included idle mixture screw helps fine-tune the idle after reassembly, while the small bottle of carb cleaner removes varnish and deposits during disassembly.

• Full gasket and O-ring assortment for sealing float bowls and vent passages
• Main and pilot jets plus needle/seat components for fuel metering restoration
• Choke cable to replace brittle or stretched original linkage
• Idle mixture screw and a sachet of carb cleaner for prep and tuning

How difficult is installation, and what tools will I need?

Installation is intermediate—suitable for DIY mechanics comfortable with disassembly, cleaning and reassembly of small components. Basic hand tools and a clean workspace are required; some owners prefer a service manual for torque specs and assembly order to avoid vacuum or performance issues.

• Basic hand tools: screwdrivers, socket set, pliers and torque wrench
• Carburetor cleaner, compressed air and a clean tray for small parts
• Service manual recommended for float height, jet specs and vacuum routing
• Allow time: expect a careful rebuild to take a few hours

Will this kit fix common carburetor problems like flooding, hesitation, or rough idle?

Replacing worn seals, jets and the choke cable addresses many root causes of leaks, poor fuel metering and choke malfunctions, which often produce flooding, hesitation or unstable idling. However, symptoms caused by ignition, fuel delivery, or vacuum leaks beyond the carburetor itself will require independent diagnosis.

• Seals and O-rings stop external and internal fuel leaks
• New jets and needles restore proper fuel-air metering
• Choke cable replacement ensures reliable cold-start enrichment
• Not a remedy for electrical, fuel pump, or vacuum-line failures

Who is this for: The DriveFix Carburetor Rebuild Kit with Choke Cable is aimed at Harley owners, restoration enthusiasts and independent mechanics who need a single, comprehensive parts set to service CV40 carburetors on Sportster, Softail, Dyna and Touring models from the late 1980s through the mid-2000s. If you’re replacing brittle linkages, fixing leaks, or refreshing fuel metering without replacing the entire carburetor, this kit supplies the core components to complete a careful rebuild and get the bike back to reliable running condition.
