So I purchased a 84 225DXL and a 84 200EK. They came with spare carburetors. Are they the same carb for both bikes? Service manual says Mikuni VM22, but has different specs...

I plan to sell them, but don't want to misrepresent.

they are different, believe it or not but I think the 200 puts more fuel out than the 225 mikuni does, I could have read that backwards but my brain keeps telling me that I have it right. One will be a 24w or vm22, and the other is a 29u"225 carb" They do look the same and both mount up the same though.

I put the carb from my 200 onto a parts 225dx I bought just to hear it run and it worked fine.

The 225 had no frOnt end so I didnt drive it so I couldn't speak for its power operation, but it fit and ran ok.
