Carburato kit help

[fireball451]

The ski is a 1999 GTX limited, 951cc.
Just replaced all the fuel lines and now need to rebuild the carbs.
I purchased carburator kits today with needle valve assembly.

I was sold Mikuni BN38/44SPR kits and 786-35015-2.0 valves.
The kits say on the back " fits Mikuni Super BN38 or Super BN44.....

Everything I find says I have a BN46I carbs.
I asked the salesman about the kits saying for BN38 or BN44 carbs.
He says they will work.
I get home and find kits on the net for BN38/44 (one dealere lists it for the 46 also).
Then I find kits for just BN46.
I pull up the diagrams for both kits and the part numbers don't match up.
Needle valve for the BN38/44 kit shows 786-35015.
The one for the BN46I shows 786-35018.

What part numbers exactly do I need for my ski.
I'm confused, aggravated, and disgusted at how things are going so far with my new hobby.

.......confusing....

It must be confusing trying to figure it all out.....

The part numbers your giving is the difference between the needle valves for the PTO carb and the MAG carb.

Although the carbs are the same, the jetting is usually a bit different. I'm still doing research on your carbs, so give me a few more minutes.

No, your main jets are the same in your carb, size 162.5 and your pilot jet is 75.

But what are you trying to do. In most instances, the carb rebuild kits are usable in several models. In the 787, I use the SBN 44, but when I get my kit, it's usable in the 36, 38, 42, and 44. The only thing that seperates these carbs is the jetting. All the gaskets and fuel pump is the same. I think the same is true in yours too. I did see that your kits are interchangable with the SBN 42 thru 46i. But that doesn't mean the jets from the 42 will work with the 46. The needle valve though, should be the same.

I don't know why you've been given two different parts..........

I was given two of the exact same parts:
2 Mikuni kits # MK-BN38/44 SPR
2 Mikuni Valves # 7863501520

Don't understand why there is a kit for the 46I if the kits I have will work.
I listed the part numbers from the 46I kit that I found ion the net and compared it to what I have.
I'm just no sure I have what I need and what the correct part numbers should be incase I need to take them back....
