        The E and L models both had those funky carbs so that should work.

          Double check your throtle plate number ( 110 or 120 )and match it to your carb specs for float heights there are differences between models and years for the siamese carbs.

            I have a manual for that "L" bike, the float height is .81". I've attached all the carb specs for you...

            Funky little carbs those 2-barrels. I would go up at least one jet size if it were me, they seemed to run very lean by design.

            Good luck,

            Mike
