Will carbs from a 1982 XJ650 work on a 1982 XJ650? Is the carb body the
same? I figure I need to check all the jet sizes and so forth...
Thanks,
Kyle

Yes. ;-)
But your subject line asks a different question.

They seem to be very similar. Is the XJ750 a bored out XJ650?
In that case the carburetor spacing would probably be the same. The typical
spacing of carbs on an I-4 is that the pairs of carbs on left and right are
close together and there is a larger space between pairs.
You can shoe horn carbs into place even if the spigots are larger and the
spacing is off by 2mm or so because the rubber boots will yield to force and
lubrication.

I dunno if "15r" and "5n8" are just some Powersportspro model designator or
what?

MAYBE-if you rejet correctly and the volumetric flow is adequate.
it will not be bolt and go.

Thanks.
Sorry about the typo - I meant to ask if XJ750 carbs would work on a XJ650,
and if the carb body's are the same.
I have a XJ650 that I can't get to start well. I've cleaned the carbs
numerous times. I know it is the carbs, because I have put a set on from a
friends XJ650 and it ran great. I am looking at a used set of XJ750 carbs
on e-bay and was wondering if I could use those.
Thanks again.
Kyle

Well, it sounds like you might have some gum and varnish in the idle ports
and passages.
I won't go deep into telling you how to clean those passages out, because
I've typed it out a few hundred times and posted it in rec.motorcycles.tech.
What you need to know is that the starting enrichener won't work unless the
throttle butterflies are almost completely closed. And, if you have dirty
passages inside your carbs, you have probably turned the idle speed knob to
get the engine to idle.
So, you've unknowingly sabotaged your carburetors.
