I want to start by saying thank you to all you knowledgeable gear heads. I have learned a ton in the last 6 months from this forum alone.
Now to business. I have a set of 78 carbs with great parts. The bodies are junk do to broken mixture screws. My question is, can I swap the parts from the 77-79 carbs into 80-82 bodies? Also, If that doesn't work, can I use 80-82 carbs on a 78 bike? I am having a hell of a time finding a set of 77-79 carbs and just want to get something that will work. User njcafe84 mentioned he will sell me a set 81 bodies, but I need to know if the parts will swap. Thank you in advance.
P.S. sorry if this has already been asked. I skimmed through several pages in the carb section of the garage forum and didn't see anything.
