Hmmm ok thank you, could you possibly name a few sources i could find these parts at a fair price ?, iv checked ebay and they are around 100 to 300 depending on the day, But i only saw them for like 90ish and up. mines an 88 ?. Can i use newer carbs on it ?

Im pretty sure the 88 uses different carbs than the rest of them. Aren't those brass tubes the sync ports?

88 uses BST31SS, so does 89. The choke rail is different. No, those are the choke enrichment tubes. But those are not BST31SS carbs in that photo. Those are BST33SS which are 90-97.

See, thats why I like my dirtbike carb. Couple jets, a float bowl, a slide, and a slightly smaller hole for the enricher

Are those YOUR carbs in that photo? Those are NOT 1988 600 carbs. Those are 90-97 600 carbs.

Hobby store, take the carbs with.

Ask for copper fuel tubing. Match up the size.

Make a new one and put it on.

If you do have the wrong carbs, let me know when you get the correct ones. I hav an 88-89 airbox you can have.

See, this bugs me. Sign up for an account. Amass 3 whole posts. Ask some type stuff. Post a photo of the wrong thing. Don't answer a question, and never show up again. Good luck.
