    550ef two barrel carbs. no springs above the slides. correct?

    Little question, sorry, search doesn't work, says "fatal error".
    I've been tearing into my 550 to see if it'll run and noticed the carbs slides don't have any springs. Is that normal?
    Thanks in advance

    The parts fiche does not show one.




    I guess the added weight of the second slide works to control the lift rate.

        That one happened to be from Alpha Sports, but they are available at any of the vendors on BassCliff's Mega-Welcome.

        Just in case you have not read through some of the cautions about vendors in the Mega-Welcome, you need to be aware that Alpha has a really nice interface and (mostly) nice fiche, but they are the MOST expensive vendor out there. Usually about retail PLUS 10 or 15%.

          BSW30 carbs on these bikes have no spring.
          I am not sure if it is true of all constant velocity carbs but I am sure no CV carb has a spring on the slides.

            Not on the slide but mine has it from the top cap into the slide, part number 9.
