xvz13 carbs on xvz12

[KoboldWrangler]

Hello--

 

I finished parting out a failed cafe racer 1300 venture to hopefully patch together my bastard child 1200. I was going to swap the engine out on mine from the 12 to the 13, however, after the nightmare i went through to get the 13 engine out, I think I may just stick with the 12 until 2nd gear disappears.

 

Thanks to the previous owner, the 1200 carbs are essentially unusable (destroyed idle air screw, all pilot jets are beyond seized and stripped). Assuming I can get the 1300 carbs cleaned up, can I swap them onto the 1200 motor without rejetting? Will I need to swap intake boots?

If memory serves there are some minor differences but I do know many of the carb parts are interchangeable but not all. I would think they should fit physically but you may have to play with the jetting and slider needle settings to match the 1200 requirements. I would go into a parts break down for each carb and see how the part numbers for each  match up.
