Then I put on some 78's due to odd problems and now I have 81 or 82's with ac pump on them. They all work the same with slight advantages the newer they get. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

My bike is an 81 it had the accellerator pumps on it and my dad just sent me a set of non acc I was going to use them I just wasnt sure if there was a size difference or not ( the old ones had been rruined by previous owner ) He tried to re drill a seat Sean "My Pitbull is smarter than your honor student" 82 CX 500C (Chopper project) 91 xl 1200 Sportster    Report

I think it was the later ones with ac pumps have smaller openings by 2mm. The od is the same but the id is different. That's why the later ones have 78/115 jets in them over 78/112. You mean the fuel needle seat? 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

I'm just going to use these carbs I got the price was good and they look alright I will have to rejet anyway (no airbox and custom 2into1) Sean "My Pitbull is smarter than your honor student" 82 CX 500C (Chopper project) 91 xl 1200 Sportster    Report
