    Will carbs from a '77 GS750 work on a '78?

    See title.

    I basically scratched my carbs to death trying to get the tips of the pilot air screws out of the little holes, and need new ones, or at least new carb bodies.

    What are my options? I found some carbs from a '77. They look almost identical. Will they work?

    Yes. 77, 78, 79 should interchange.

          Only difference might be the choke setup
