Thx. The corrosion is severe, more than it looks in the photos. If you look at the 2nd picture above of the float bowl you’ll see orange (from my binder) coming through two holes in the bowl. Besides corrosion through the aluminum bowl the seat for the o-ring main nozzle in the bowl is pitted and won’t seal.
If no one has a 314 I’ll try to swap over to this 316 E3 I can get hold of. It uses the same needle size as the 314 E1. Thanks again for the comments.

Yes, holes are bad.  I didn't find one.  Just swap over all the calibrated parts and you'll be fine. 

"tapandrack post=137838Thanks guys. Would a 316 E3 work in the CT3? Can you direct me to a manual that shows this info on what model VM24SH went with what bike? Much appreciated! "


This is from 125AT2 175CT2 Service Manual , 1st Edition July 1971I have no idea if it is accurate.  

  

Bdee, thanks so much! That is perfect! Much appreciated!
Bob

Btw, I see you have a ‘73 CT3 too. Nice bike!

Turns out that data is incorrect, found this in a later version of the service manual:

 


thanks. it's almost ready !

 

Thank you! This is perfect! Where did you get this manual?

Did you ever find a carb that worked?

Yes, I used the 316 E3 body and rejetted it with the correct parts listed in Bdee's post above. It runs perfectly now.
