I need to replace just the #1 carb body on my 81 GS850, and found a #1 carb from an 82 GS650. Does anyone know if these are interchangeable?
Thanks in advance.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It can be made to work, but it's not a perfect fit. :-k
The main air jet is larger on the 650. (2.0 vs. 1.7)
The starter jet on the 650 is MUCH larger. (45 vs. 32.5)
The bypass ports on the 650 are smaller. (0.8, 0.7, 0.8 vs. 1.0, 0.8, 0.8)
You could probably change the main jet to compensate for the air jet.
The starter jet is only used when you activate the "choke", so it's very temporary.
Nothing you can do about the bypass ports, but they are pretty close.
The other jets will simply swap into the new body, but you have to keep these non-adjustable items in mind.
