missing spring :(

[Guest]

I have cleaned my carbs and fitted new o-rings and boot rings from mr. barr. Everything has gone after the plan, except that 2 springs were missing.

Only 1 of each type were missing
1. the spring for Pilot Air Screw: I have ordered this one no problem.
2. the spring for Pilot fuel screw: This one is not in the parts catalogue. It's not even drawn on the original exploded parts diagram.

What do I do? Can anyone dig up a parts number on it? Can I use a similar part? Any other way of preventing that screw from turning as the motor vibrates?

Do you have another spring of similar length and compression?

IF so...throw that in and your set. I wouldn't suggest any form of Locktite on those screws as when you need to adjust them (and at some point you will) you're running the risk of buggering up the threads. Pretty weak pot metal in the carb bodies.

ok thanks,

on a side note - I just fired up the old 750. After a thorough carb cleaning, and a bit of charging of the battery it fired right up!! First time I hear that beautiful roar. I'm so happy

only 3 steps left this summer
1. figure out how I get that damn cover of the clutch and see why those discs are stuck together.
2. Chance fork seals
3. Ride
