76-78 Keihin carbs do not have an HD number on it or a stamp pad for numbering. The Keihin number is stamped in the flange. \\
The best way to identify a 79-up Harley Keihin carb is to read the Keihin number. \\
It's the first 4 characters stamped on the (R) choke cable side just above the bowl. \\
The HD part number on some models is on a sticker placed on the top of the carb. \\
Older carbs either weren't labeled or the sticker may either be missing or unreadable. \\

As for interchangeability between butterfly carbs; \\
Any Harley Keihin butterfly carb will interchange but the ones for big twins will need to be re-jetted for a Sportster engine. \\
The chart on the [[techtalk:ih:carb01#sportster_keihin_carburetors_by_year_model|Basic carb information page]] has the factory jetting information for Sportsters. \\
You may have to go up or down from there depending on what's already in your carb and your specific engine/A/C/exhaust setup. \\

Also, 76-78 Sportster carbs have a 38mm venture (measured at the smallest point near the throttle plate). \\
79-87 Sportster carbs have a 34mm venture. However, the carbs installed on BT's may be 38mm. \\
To find the venture size of the one you have, cut a piece of cereal / kleenex box cardboard 34mm wide and insert it into the most narrow part of the venturi. ((IronMick of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=4457592&highlight=keihin+bowl#post4457592)) \\
Tight fit = 34 mm, loose fit = 38 mm. \\

See the pics below for a visual confirmation of year model features. \\

====== Sportster Keihin Butterfly Carbs ======

===== (B50A) =====
L1976 27153-76 Sportster '76 only' Keihin butterfly carb. \\
Float bowl (27359-76). \\
Accelerator pump (27364-76), inside casting# (1-2). \\
It has a solid choke, meaning that the choke plate (butterfly) has no spring action in the linkage. ((Dr Dick of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1035453)) \\
You can begin to identify -76 only carb cause there is no plastic pieces on the choke shaft. \\
It also has a idle mixture adjusting screw that was not hidden under a plug. It was rite out in the open where you can get to it. \\
That is what you can tell from the outside. \\
{{:techtalk:ih:carb:l76_keihin_carb_1_by_ddddylan.jpg?direct&300|}} ((photo by DDDDylan of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=4428805&highlight=keihin+bowl#post4428805)) {{:techtalk:ih:carb:l76_keihin_carb_2_by_ddddylan.jpg?direct&300|}} ((photo by DDDDylan of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=4428805&highlight=keihin+bowl#post4428805)) \\

The real scoop to tell if it's -76 is on the inside. \\
Inside, there was no hole drilled between the main jet well and the low speed well to feed the low speed jet. \\
That made it the only one that didn't use the low speed jet rubber plug you see when you take off the float bowl. \\
This hole can be seen when you remove the rubber plug and look at the wall between the wells on 77 and up Keihin butterfly carbs. \\
77-up carbs have a hole to connect the low speed well to the main well. 76 only had no hole. \\
If you have a 76 only and install rubber plug, your bike won't run. \\
In the float bowl, the accelerator pump discharge nozzle has a .040" orifice, (stamped 100), as apposed to the .031" (stamped 75) used on 77 up. \\
But most importantly, it didn't have an accelerator pump "relief" port. You can observe the relief action (if you have a 77-up bowl). \\
Remove the bowl and the "L" shaped linkage that actuates the pump. Drop the "L" into its hole on the side of the bowl. \\
Pour enough fuel in the bowl so that you have it about 1/4 full and actuate the pump by depressing the "L" link (don't squirt on yourself). \\
On the 77-up, there is a little hole down on the bowl floor that fuel squirts out of, as well as the brass nozzle at the gasket surface. \\
The quicker you press, the more goes thru the "relief". \\
All "relief" bowls have a steel rod installed under the discharge nozzle. This rod is free in its movement and you can hear it if you shake the bowl. \\
This rod acts as "variable" resistance to fuel flow to the actual discharge nozzle. \\
If the pump is actuated slowly enough, all fuel will exit the relief because there isnt enough force to lift the rod. \\

'76 only' didn't have the rod at all. Instead, it used a check ball assembly in the small cover that is screwed onto the bowl (the one with the 3 holes). \\
When you shake the small cover when it's removed from the bowl, you will hear the ball. There is no ball on 77-up. \\
'76 only' has even more differences but those are the biggies. \\

The JP Cycles Deluxe Carb Rebuild Kit (4000050) will work. ((DeeDay of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1035453)) \\

They all "look" about the same but there are differences. (As for factory Sportster carbs), best may be the late 1976 to 1978 keihin butterfly. \\
