About the Yamaha CT2
Three focused service areas for the 1972 CT2: fuel level, contact points and fork sealing.
Yamaha’s 1972 CT2 parts reference separates the carburetor, ignition and front-fork assemblies. Those same three areas define this small replacement-parts selection. A restored CT2 may carry a later carburetor or ignition, so its model year and the identity of the fitted component should travel together through the parts search.
Inspect fuel-level control before choosing carburetor parts
A sticking float, a worn inlet valve and dirt in the fuel supply can lead to different repair needs. Inspect the float, hinge and valve separately instead of choosing a float solely because the carburetor leaks. The linked float-and-pin product lists CT2 1972; match its shape and hinge to the carburetor actually fitted.

Use the model, year and fitted component together when comparing these applications.
Carburetor
CT2 1972 float application
Compare float shape, hinge and clearance inside the bowl. A float purchase does not establish that a needle valve is included.
Ignition
Match the contact-point assembly
The contact points list CT2 1972. Compare the mounting, contacts and lead connection with the fitted ignition.
Fork
Use the 1972 CT2 and seal dimensions
The broad seal listing groups several CT years. Use the correct CT2 identity and compare the complete 30 × 40.5 × 10.5 mm seal specification.
