Spree Carb Float & Valve Differences

I'm confused-working on '86 & '87 Sprees at same time, cleaned carbs at same time, mixed parts, switched carbs from one scoot to other--you get the picture, everything is mixed up, but seems to work.
Decided to order 1 new float and 2 new valves--guess what, the two years have diff part #, and those for '86 are less $. What's the diff. Do I need to try to sort out which carb goes with which scoot?

Should be same parts all around. As far as I know (which ain't too far,) the differences between early Sprees (84 -85) and the 86-87 flavor carbs are: (and the envelope please........)
1. Different connectors on the bystarter wires; latter years utilize flat white disconnects; earlier - bullet connectors.
2. Fuel mixture screw adjustment; early vintage initial setting: 1 5/8 turns out; 86-87 - 1 1/2 turns out.
As you can see, you should be in pretty good shape. Experts will chime in to confirm or deny.
