Hey everyone!
New to the forum, I just recently purchased a 1978 xs650 standard. With the bike i got an extra set of mikuni bs38 carbs, however they are the 70-75 year model. After doing some research i have found some minor differences, but not enough to distinguish one better than the other.
the 70-75 carbs i got looks better externally than the ones currently on the bike. I would like to rebuild them so i have a running bike while i do the rebuild, but want to make sure it would be worth it as opposed to rebuilding the carbs currently on the bike.
