ENRICHENER (CARBURETED)4.3
GENERAL
The carburetor is a constant velocity, gravity fed type with a
float operated inlet valve, a variable venturi, a throttle stop
screw for idle speed adjustment and a fuel enrichment system for starting. See Figure 4-1.
The fuel enrichment circuit will cause engine idle speed to
increase to approximately 2000 rpm with enrichener knob
pulled out fully and engine running at normal operating temperature. With enrichener knob pulled out partially and
engine running at normal operating temperature, engine idle
speed will also increase above normal idle speed. The
increase in idle speed is intended to alert the rider that
engine is warmed up, and that enrichener knob should be
pushed in all the way. Continued use of enrichener after
engine is warmed up may cause fouled spark plugs.
Idle and transfer ports provide a balanced fuel mixture during
the transition period from stop to mid-range. A vacuum piston
controls venturi opening.
The carburetor is specifically designed to control exhaust
emissions. All jets are fixed. The idle mixture has been preset at the factory.
The idle mixture screw is recessed in the carburetor casting.
The opening is sealed with a plug because it is intended that
the idle mixture be non-adjustable.
NOTE
Adjusting mixture setting by procedures other than specified
in this section may be in violation of Federal or State regulations.
This system partially compensates for changes in the mixture
that are normally caused by changes in altitude. Because
atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases, the
pressure difference in the upper and lower chambers is
reduced, which provides less fuel to the engine.
The carburetor is equipped with an accelerator pump. The
accelerator pump system uses sudden throttle openings
(rapid accelerations) to quickly inject fuel into carburetor venturi to provide extra fuel for smooth acceleration.
OPERATION
Enrichener
The enrichener knob, located under the left side of the fuel
tank, controls opening and closing of the enrichener circuit in
the carburetor. The enrichener knob can be adjusted to any
position, from full-in to full-out.
Figure 4-1. CVH Carburetor
Never accelerate the engine above 2500 RPM immediately after a cold start. Allow the engine to run slowly for
15-30 seconds. This will allow the engine to warm up and
let oil reach all surfaces needing lubrication. Extended
idling with enrichener in the full out position for a period
longer than 30 seconds is not recommended.
NOTE
H-D CV carburetors have an enrichener circuit that will
●
cause the engine to idle at approximately 2000 rpm with
the engine at normal operating temperature and the
enrichener knob pulled fully out.
2004 Touring: Fuel4-5
Page 6
HOME
The increase in idle speed is intended to alert the rider
●
that the engine is warmed up to normal operating temperature and the enrichener knob should be pushed all
the way in.
●
Continuing to use the enrichener when the engine is at
full operating temperature WILL CAUSE FOULED
SPARK PLUGS.
CAUTION
Pay close attention to the vehicle's warm-up time. Either
excessive or insufficient use of the enrichener may
cause poor performance, erratic idle, poor fuel economy
and spark plug fouling.
NOTE
The following starting and operating instructions for all carbureted motorcycles should be viewed as recommendations
only. They may be modified for individual vehicles.
Cool Engine
Outside Temperature Cooler than 60˚ F
Tu rn the fuel valve to the ON position. BE SURE THAT THE
THROTTLE IS CLOSED. Pull the enrichener knob to the “full
out” position. Turn the Ignition/Light Key Switch knob to the
IGNITION position. Turn the Engine Stop Switch to the RUN
position. Press the Engine Start Switch to operate the electric
starter.
1. After initial 15-30 second warm-up, ride for 3 minutes or
2 miles (3.2 km) with enrichener knob in full out position.
See Figure 4-2.
2. Push the enrichener knob in to the 1/2 way position. Ride
an additional 2 minutes or 2 miles (3.2 km).
3. Push the enrichener knob fully in.
NOTE
If outside temperature is cooler than 20˚ F it may be necessary to pump the throttle control grip 2 or 3 times.
Outside Temperature Warmer than 60˚ F
Tu rn the fuel valve to the ON position. BE SURE THAT THE
THROTTLE IS CLOSED. Pull the enrichener knob to the “full
out” position. Turn the Ignition/Light Key Switch knob to the
IGNITION position. Turn the Engine Stop Switch to the RUN
position. Press the Engine Start Switch to operate the electric
starter.
1. After the initial 15-30 second warm-up, ride for 1 minute
or 1/2 mile (0.8 km) with enrichener knob in full out position. See Figure 4-2.
2. Push the enrichener knob in to the 1/2 way position. Ride
an additional 1 minute or 1/2 mile (0.8 km).
3. Push the enrichener knob fully in.

Tu rn the fuel valve to the ON position. Turn the Ignition/Light
Key Switch knob to the IGNITION position. Turn the Engine
Stop Switch to the RUN position. Open throttle 1/8 - 1/4 turn.
Press the Engine Start Switch to operate the electric starter.
DO NOT USE ENRICHENER.
NOTE
If the engine does not start after a few turns or if one cylinder
fires weakly but engine does not start, it is usually because of
an over-rich (flooded) condition. This is especially true of a
hot engine. If the engine is flooded, push enrichener knob in
all the way, turn ignition on and operate starter with throttle
wide open. DO NOT "pump" the throttle while turning over the
engine.
ADJUSTMENTS
Slow Idle
NOTE
Make certain the enrichener knob is pushed all the way in
before adjusting engine idle. The CV carburetor enrichenercircuit will cause the engine idle speed to increase to
between 1500 and 2000 rpm with the enrichener knob pulled
out fully and the engine at normal operating temperature.
(With the enrichener knob pulled out partially and normal
engine operating temperature, the engine idle speed will
increase above normal idle speed (950-1050 rpm) to approximately 2000 rpm maximum with the enrichener knob pulled
out fully). The increase in idle speed is intended to alert the
rider that the engine is warmed-up and the enrichener knob
should be pushed all the way in. Continued use of the
enrichener, after engine is at normal operating temperature,
may cause fouled spark plugs.
With the engine at normal operating temperature and the
enrichener all the way in (enrichener valve closed) adjust the
throttle stop screw so the engine idles at 1000 rpm.

Enrichener Control
At the 1000 mile (1600 km) service interval, and at every
5000 mile (8000 km) service interval thereafter, inspect the
enrichener control as follows:
The fuel enrichener knob should open, remain open and then
close without binding. The knurled plastic nut next to the
enrichener knob controls the ease at which the cable slides
within the conduit.
If adjustment is needed:
1. See Figure 4-3. Loosen hex nut at backside of mounting
bracket.
2. Move cable assembly free of slot in mounting bracket.
3. Hold cable assembly at flat with adjustable wrench.
Hand turn knurled nut counterclockwise to reduce sliding
resistance until knob slides inward unaided.
4. Turn knurled nut clockwise to increase sliding resistance
until knob remains fully out without holding and then
closes with relative ease.
Figure 4-3. Enrichener Control
5. Slide enrichener cable into slot of mounting bracket. Flat
on threads must face rear of motorcycle for script on
enrichener knob to be right side up. With external tooth
lockwasher and hex nut positioned on the inboard side
of the mounting bracket, tighten hex nut to 20-35
(2.3-4.0 Nm).

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Carburetor Housing
1. Clean all internal air/fuel passages in carburetor housing
with carburetor cleaner. Blow out passages using low
pressure compressed air. Proceed as follows:
1WARNING1WARNING
Main Circuit
a. Plugging main jet hole in carburetor throat, spray
carburetor cleaner into air inlet hole of main circuit.
See A of Figure 4-12. While spraying, verify that
solution exits main jet bore at bottom of carburetor
housing. See B of Figure 4-12.
b. Using a tapered, rubber-tipped nozzle on the air
hose (to prevent both loss of air pressure and to
avoid scratching or nicking the bore), apply low pressure compressed air into air inlet hole to blow carburetor cleaner out of hole in carburetor throat. Placing
gloved finger over hole in carburetor throat, blow
carburetor cleaner out of main jet bore at bottom of
carburetor housing.
Compressed air can pierce the skin and cause injury.
Never use your hand to check for leaks or to determine
air flow rates. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes
from flying dirt and debris. Failure to comply could result
in death or serious injury.
Slow Speed Circuit
a. Spray carburetor cleaner into air inlet hole of slow
speed circuit. See A of Figure 4-12. While spraying,
verify that solution exits slow jet bore at bottom of
carburetor housing. See B of Figure 4-12. Placing
gloved finger over slow jet bore, verify that solution
exits four pin holes just inboard of the throttle plate,
as well as the single pin hole outboard of the throttle
plate.
b. Using a tapered, rubber-tipped nozzle on the air
hose (to prevent both loss of air pressure and to
avoid scratching or nicking the bore), apply low pressure compressed air into air inlet hole to blow carburetor cleaner out of slow jet bore. Placing gloved

VACUUM OPERATED FUEL VALVE (CARBURETED)4.6
GENERAL
A fuel valve is located under the fuel tank on the left side of
the motorcycle. The gasoline supply to the carburetor is
dependent upon the position of the valve handle as well as
the internal workings of the vacuum-operated valve.
To access the main fuel supply, turn the valve handle
to the fully vertical position, so that the indicator points up to
ON. To access the reserve supply, turn the handle up to the
fully vertical position, so that the indicator points down to
RES(ERVE). Move the handle to the horizontal position to
shut the gasoline supply to the carburetor OFF. Always turn
the valve to the OFF position to refuel, or whenever the
engine is not running.
Gasoline will not flow through the fuel valve until the following
conditions are met:
1. The valve handle must be turned to the ON or
RES(ERVE) position.
2. A vacuum of approximately 0.5-1.0 inches of Mercury
(Hg) must be applied to the vacuum fitting at the back of
the fuel valve.
In service, the vacuum fitting is connected to the intake manifold. The partial vacuum applied at the fitting creates a difference in pressure between the front side of the diaphragm
(which is vented to the atmosphere via the bottom fitting on
the fuel valve) and the rear. This pressure differential causes
the diaphragm to move against an internal spring, thereby
opening an orifice that enables the flow of gasoline to the
carburetor. When the vacuum at the vacuum fitting is
removed, the internal spring pressure closes the orifice,
which effectively halts the supply of fuel to the carburetor.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM4.8
CALIFORNIA MODELS ONLY
GENERAL
Harley-Davidson motorcycles sold in the state of California
are equipped with an evaporative (EVAP) emissions control
system. In conformance with California Air Resource Board
(CARB) regulations, the EVAP system prevents both fuel and
crankcase vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. See
Figure 4-21.
The EVAP system functions as follows:
●The fuel vapor vent tube connected to a fitting on
the filler neck (top of canopy on FLHR/C/S models)
allows fuel vapors in the fuel tank to be vented
through the vapor valve to the charcoal canister. If
the motorcycle is tipped, the vapor valve also prevents the loss of gasoline through the vent tube.
CarburetorFuel
Clean Air
Inlet Tube
●When the engine is running, negative pressure
(vacuum) draws the fuel vapors stored in the charcoal canister through the purge tube to the carburetor (or induction module) where they are burned as
part of the normal combustion process.
●On carbureted models, fuel vapors emanating from
the carburetor throat are drawn to the charcoal canister through the clean air inlet tube connected to
the inboard side of the air cleaner backplate. Crankcase vapors passing from the breather tubes into
the air filter element follow the fuel vapors to the
charcoal canister. These vapors, after passing
through the charcoal canister, also travel through
the purge tube to the carburetor where they are
burned.
●When the engine is not running, the gravity-oper-
ated baffle plate at the air cleaner air inlet port
closes to prevent fuel and crankcase vapors from
escaping into the atmosphere.

Charcoal Canister Hose Routing
1WARNING1WARNING
Verify that the vent tubes do not contact hot exhaust or
engine parts. Tubes contain flammable vapors that can
be ignited if damaged, possibly causing fire or explosion,
which could result in death or serious injury.
Purge Tube:
From top fitting on left side of charcoal canister (stamped
“CARB”), purge tube is routed forward where it runs under
frame crossmember, and then angles upward between crossmember and inner primary housing. Captured in clip
anchored in hole at front of crossmember (rear and inboard of
cruise hole), purge tube goes over crossover pipe, runs along
left side of rear cylinder rocker cover and into tunnel of fuel
tank. It then crosses to right side of motorcycle just to the rear
of the top engine mounting bracket, where it connects to a fitting on the carburetor (or induction module). See Figure 4-24.
Fuel Vapor Vent Tube:
From bottom fitting on left side of charcoal canister (stamped
“TANK”), vent tube is routed forward and then upward in front
of battery box to bottom fitting on vapor valve mounted to rear
of upper frame crossmember.
Another section connected to top fitting of vapor valve follows
the inboard side of the main harness bundle, where it is captured in anchored cable strap on left side of frame backbone
before passing under console pod/instrument console to fitting on filler neck of fuel tank (top of canopy on FLHR/C/S
models).
Clean Air Inlet Tube:
From 90˚ elbow connector on right side of charcoal canister,
clean air inlet tube runs forward under frame crossmember
and then upward (inboard of starter connections) following
angle of crossmember, where it is routed over crossover pipe
and rear cylinder rocker cover into tunnel of fuel tank on right
side of frame backbone. Tube turns right just to the rear of the
top engine mounting bracket, where it connects to fitting on
inboard side of air cleaner backplate.
NOTE
The clean air inlet tube is absent on fuel injected models, so
the fitting on the right side of the canister terminates in a 90
elbow connector (the free end pointing down).
