    88 lx vs 86 dx

    I just ordered a carb from an 88lx for my 86dx. Is it going to work?

    The base gaskets might be different... are you getting the EFE carb spacer with the carb? You may only need to replace the gasket though.

    I don't even know what that is. I was planning on swapping out carbs because mine is shot to hell. This one's probably got about half the mileage on it. It hasnt come in the mail yet though. If the base gaskets are different, is it still going to function properly?
