Paul: I cannot tell you what exactly the difference is, I just know that the sets have different part numbers which applies to both needles and seats. The original Honda replacements I have listed for my carbs show that. I would assume it is the needle and seat shape.jnnngs wrote:[ Mike,
In what way are the needle / seats different? I haven't noticed any differences with them on VB60's vs. VB61's. I have seen US models that have the mixture screw "disabled", whereas Euro models don't have that. I haven't noticed any other differences internally.

OK, but in my parts book (April 1978 version), none of the internal parts / linkages have region specific part numbers. Only the carb bodies (complete), and the full rack of carbs have different codes.EMS wrote:

I'm interested in buying your seized carbs for spares Tripnut, I'm near Gatwick 07971 169980.Tripnut wrote:does anyone know the differences between VB60 and VB61 and why they used different carbs (or just numbers) on US and euro bikes? I have a UK bike with VB61's and a spare set, I also have a set of seized VB60's which I can't bring myself to throw away.
Both sets of VB61's have vacuum fuel cut outs fitted but the VB60's don't. is this the only difference?
