Hey guys-- I recently picked up a used stock carb for my '78. The aftermarket Mikuni flat-slider that came on the bike has some issues that I need to take care of so I figured it would be cool to have a backup while I muck around. I found a good ebay deal on a stock carb off a 1980 (VM32SS). I figured it would be nice to have the stock carb, anyway, in case I wanted to enter vintage shows or racing.
The carb supposedly came off a running bike. It looks pretty clean inside and out. The question is, should I do anything other than just install it on the bike? I don't have a replacement float bowl gasket for it so I don't really want to break it open. Would I get anything out of soaking it in carb cleaner overnight?
