79 exciter?

[bnewgaard]

Hello, I have 3 vintage yamaha sleds a 300 enticer, a 340 enticer, and a 440 exciter that i just bought that the guy advertised as a 77 model but it has gauges and all the pics i have seen dont show the gauges up front on the 77s so im thinking its a 79 or 80? someone has repainted the hood black but not sure of original color yet, where is the best resource to determine the actual year of my 300 and 440? i know the 340 is a 79
thank you

ps there is a gold colored yamaha sticker on the front of the dash that looks to be original?

You shouldn't need a carb kit. Just clean it.
