I was wondering if the 83-85 vt700 carbs would swap onto the 86-87 vt700 ?
Is it possible to use the 83-85 jet kit? I need the needle part.
The previous owner punched the baffles out of mine and it has a miss between 2500 and 3800 rpm that is from being lean, and there seems to be no jet kit for the 86-87 models to get it tuned.
