Dont know if they made changes on the fork, just measure and you will know. I have original springs if you need measurements.

Naah its ok... will replace them anyway because they were made with the technology of late 80s... thanks for the offer... tried to take a video yesterday for you but there was a lot of traffic and I couldn't open it up properly... all I can say is with 15/45 gears I reached 127 kmph in 4th...and with a digital tachometer none the less that its pretty accurate... don't have a fork stabilizer and I have a lot of vibrations man... kinda dangerous but I will get on the highway for you and try again...

Have been checking out a little with the raptor carb and seem hard to find some in good condition, these raptor machines have been abused in desert/dirt all the time. I quess the ones that are up for sale are sold for a reason, buy a problem i think. And how many hours they have been running is impossible to find out. Price with shipping and taxes will end on 350dollars + kit for overhaul it.

If you set up 2x 1st carb(the mechanical one) to open simultaneously and get the jetting right it should work better than Stock. If you use the 2nd mechanical carb as the "kick in" like the oem vacuum carb, I don't Think you Will gain anything other than jetting issues as you still only Will be feeding the Engine through 1 valve at up to 1/2 throttle.
