  • Help with #2 Carb

    Some advice on a #2 carb body on ebay.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/78-79-YAMAHA...53c801&vxp=mtr

    Will this work on my 81 Special to replace my bad #2?

    Does it use the same internal parts?

    Thanks..

    The 78-79 carbs are different than the 81's. The jets are different, fuel valves are different, and so are the slides. Not going to work unless you've got the old model carbs.
    I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.
