Title: will this carb kit work for me?

KY-0472F

float gasket; float needle and seat; #130 #125 main and #50 slow jet; air screw; idle screw; diaphragms; packing and gaskets and "O" rings as shown
One Fuel Pump kit will repair all gaskets for Mikuni Fuel Pump

39 bucks +shipping for the whole shebang.



This is for an 83. I have an 82. I also have a 4-5k lag. I wonder if this kit would be the upgraded jets for the 82 that would remedy this??
Theres also an 82 kit available,, fewer parts, much more money. It looks like this

What do you think?

I dont know if previous owner adjusted the acc. pump rod either.. could it be that simple?

The kits are NOT interchangeable. You need 2 '82 kits for your '82 carbs. I think the prices are more subject to availability than number of parts.

I recommend that you do the carbs, and send me a list of what you need. I can order it for ya and send it to ya at cost.
