Nikki Carburetor

Model 540000

General Information

The Vanguard

Model 540000 OHV V-Twin utilizes a fixed jet, two barrel, side draft, flo-jet carburetor. Except

for idle speed, the carburetor is non-adjustable. The carburetor incorporates a fuel shut-off (anti-afterfire) solenoid
that controls fuel flow to the fuel metering system. The solenoid is controlled by the ignition switch.
