Hello,
I have an 85 Venture Royale I picked up in pieces. Unfortunately the previous owner was nice enough to drop the carburetors off to get repaired and they were completely disassembled (a few torn diaphragms) and cleaned. Unfortunately, they were never reassembled and the gaskets inside the fuel bowl were removed and the fuel bowl o-rings were trashed. The bodies of the carbs look great! They also look like a crazy jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing.
By the time i buy new diaphragms and gaskets think it may be cheaper to get a set off EBay roughly $300.00 for a used set. However they are mostly second Gen 1300cc carbs.
Question 1: Did they change the bore size of the carb along with the displacement or did they just re-jet the carb?
Question 2: Can you swap the carbs from the later years to earlier
Question 3: Anybody just have a set of carb for a 1st Gen for sale, or maybe know a guy?
Thanks in advance -Ben
