1993 Yamaha VXR Pro bad carb

[klauricella]

New to Waverunners and we just bought two older ones for our kids. One did not start it is a 1993 Yamaha VXR Pro Waverunner. Everything else looked good on it. When I got it home the the carb had water in it and rusted up the needle seat and retaining screw. Want to get a new carb but can only find newer models. So question is would a carb from a 1997 Yamaha Waverunner Waveraider 700 fit? The part numbers are really close and they look the same.

Thanks
Kevin

I dont know if it does off the top of my head but the older Yamaha's had the Mikuni Super BN carb

which this shows that the carb was on the VXR pro and the waverunners (This is the carb on my 94 waverunner III)

On a side note, at this site you can order replacement parts....rebuild kits....new needles and seats...if the actual body of the carb looks OK, you may just want a thorough rebuild with new gaskets, screws, blow it out with compressed air and carb cleaner, etc

I had planned on rebuilding until I opened it up. The screw heads are rusted really bad and would have to be drilled out. Not worth the headache if I can just get a used one for $100.
