2 cycle 55hp vs 60 hp Carb difference swap?

[Canufixit]

Hi, I need to rebuild my 60 hp 1996 carbs (3). I'd like to rebuild a used set I found but they are for a 55 hp (3 carb set) - then swap out the carbs at the boat.

"My" carbs set (top middle and bottom) are a WME-44. The extra carb set is a WME-43 (Top middle and bottom) for a 55 hp. From what I can tell from the parts list - the carbs and mechanics are the same EXCEPT for the high speed jet (55 hp = .048" jet, 60 HP = .060" JET. ) Carbs uses same gasket sets, and rebuild kits which do not include the jet.

I want to buy these and rebuild them and swap the main jet. This will make it faster and easier to swap carbs and give me a spare set.

Any thoughts??

Thanks All

Should work, but don't expect much performance gain.

Thanks. Not looking for performance. Just spare carbs.

Update. Used carbs came in - looked in good shape. Disassembled and sonic cleaned with Yamaha carb dip. Cleaned up well. Half a dozen tiny flow holes in the upper mixing chamber into the throat. Be sure you find them all for cleaning.
All 3 carb's Pick up tube ends were fully gummed up. Bottom Carb shut off valve to float was well gummed up and stuck. Waiting for new .062" high speed jets - due in tomorrow. I'll reassemble by Friday and swap with original carbs ASAP if the weather holds. Fingers crossed.
