Mikuni 42
Well my Mikuni throttle lever broke 3 days before my insurance ran out for the year. Bummer!! It's a beautiful day today I could have gotten out between the rain yesterday and tomorrow.
Anyway I found the part I need, and they want $40 for it. So I started looking around and it seems that I could pick up a brand new carb for about $200 shipped. But in my looking around I see different designations for the carb. I see 42-18 or 42-11 or 42-6 and the part that I wanted had the designation 42-20. My question is what are the -xx numbers for? I would hate to buy a new carb and get it with the wrong jets or other items. I have a '94 FLSTC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has the old style throttle lever that they don't need let me know. I really can't afford $200 but I really don't want to pay $40 for a $5 part. I am retired now so fixed income !%@#$%. And if I am in the wrong forum I apologize.

I have never seen them listed with any suffix but the 18 and 20 almost sound like main jet sizes. If you do your own carb work, here is a link to just about any thing you want to know about Mikuni carbs and more.
