E series and H Series Carb Holder Interchange
Posted: 02:10 pm Feb 15 2018
Hello All,
I've been reading here for a while but this is my first post, what a great site!
I recently bought a 93 KDX200 and have noticed the carb holder boot (between Carb and Reed Block) is rather deteriorated. As far as I can tell none of the cracks go all the way through, but I feel it's only a matter of time. I'd be more comfortable with a new one rather than trying to repair the old one with windshield urethane or the like.
The E series boot is discontinued, but I can still get an H series one which looks the same in the parts diagrams. They have different part numbers, but I've heard rumors they are compatible. The rumors seem to be substantiated by the Rad Valve by Boyesen being the same for the 89-06 years. Because the rad valve replaces the original carb holder boot, I assume this means the bolt pattern and angle/distance of the carb relative to the reed block must be the same or very close between the two year sets?
Has anyone used the H series part on their E series bike? Or can anyone at least definitively confirm their compatibility? I found an older post here asking the same question, but it got mixed responses. Perhaps in the time since then someone has confirmed it one way or the other?
Thanks!

sweet thank you! Is there any other swap over compatibilities that your aware of. Just bought an 89 kdx200 in good condition and only needed a new ignition stator to get going. Fine tuning it now but think the dry rotted Reed boot is sucking air...thanks
