Engine replacement compatibility

Postby infamous 2nd son » Sun Jul 05, 2015 6:58 am

Hi everyone
Firstly a quick hello and a tip of the hat to you all (I'm polite like that)
I'm based in the UK and have recently bought a cb650 of 1980 vintage
It's not for the purists mind you as its a chopped hardtail
I love my old school chops and this one is right up my street
However, I've been getting it done up and road ready in my front room (it's ok, the Mrs is a biker too, thank god) and I've been hitting every single problem I could hit, long story short, I've aged 10 years but the bike finally got back on the road after a lengthy time off it
I smiled like a fool when me and my mrs had our first blast out on our bikes but less than a week later im stuck with a poorly engine and although this is my first post I need your expert help
My bike is a 1980 with rc03 engine code, I'm currently looking at a donor bike with an ok engine but it's an 83. What I need to know is, is it a straight swap if I use the carbs and complete engine or are they not interchangeable?
Any help would be very much appreciated
I bid you all a good day
