Not to be picky or step on anyone's toe's, but actually Harley factory carbs and some aftermarket carb's do have accelerator pumps. I disconnected mine and it ran like crap. Typhoon had the best explanation about the signal strength. One underlying cause is the fact that Harley's factory setup is very lean. An attempt to meet emission regulations I was told. As a rule Factory Harley's are very restricted on the intake side (air cleaner) and the exhaust side. Significant gains can be made with free flowing air filters and exhaust. Just my experience.
