Help with #2 Carb

[RichV]

Some advice on a #2 carb body on ebay.

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.

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure.
