I picked up a carb rebuild kit from EBay. The seller said it was good for 70-76 but the packaging says 73-75.

I messaged him about it and he says the manufacturer (K&L) "got the info wrong on the package" which sounds dubious to me, at best.

What are the differences between the 72 carbs and the 73-75 carbs? Can I really use a rebuild kit intended for the latter on the former?

Thanks a lot!

I haven't opened the 73-75 kits yet as I might want to return them but they look pretty close through the plastic.

What's the difference on the jets?

Thanks.
 
Jet sizing changed about every year as the bike progressed. As long as the needle and seat and gasket look right that is about all that you would use in the rebuild anyway. Not much in these carbs that goes bad except the needle and seat and the bowl gasket.
