Hi all, greetings from sunny Granada. Just new to the forum. I recently bought a 1986 VF500f. It has been stood for the last 25 years. It had a full service prior to this, so everything is immaculate EXCEPT for the carbs. Completely trashed, they had not been emptied , so a real mess inside. So I managed to pick up a very clean set of pre 86 carbs - big question will the work on the 86? I have replaced the carb to manifold rubbers (2mm bigger than the 86) will the jetting be ok? 86 carbs have main 95, older ones have 90. Thanks in advance
On a stock bike, the stock jetting from a different year will likely be just fine. Keep in mind 86 were gravity fed and prior had fuel pumps. The inlet spigot is in a different location and some adaption will be needed.
