I recently acquired a 1975 XX650 and it came with some issues, as well as a couple Rubbermaid bins of things and a whack load of carbs. Like 10 plus the two on the bike, all of varying condition and levels of neglect. The ones on the bike definitely need some minding and what I was hoping to do was take some of the carbs in better shape from the bins and use them to rebuild.
What I came across though is that the ones in the best condition seem to be different from the ones currently on the bike and I am not sure if I would be able to use them or not. they also appear to be built quite differently from the left carb to the right.
these are the ones currently on the bike but need a complete overhaul.
and this is the one that I want to change to as I have two in quite good condition, but they have a different Starter jet bodies and a different hose connection.
Im not sure if I should just suck it up and try and get the nasty one back looking nice and not swap or would this swap work? I'll also add that I believe the engine has been bored and sleeved to 750cc..
Little over my head but thought the more enlightened folks here might be able to shed some light on my situation.
Cheers.
