    VM26 Carb idle screw springs ???

    I lost 3 of the Idle Fuel screws springs. 2 years ago.
    And I didn't want to listen to you guys, and I took shortcuts.
    Yes, they were "long cuts".
    Now I'm re-cleaning the carbs "by the book" this time.

    anyone know what brand of pen will yeild an accepable spring?
    or do I really have to buy the new screws from Z1 just to get the springs?

    Here's what I tried last time. ( They may have been functional, but I don't want to put them back in)

    1978 KZ1000C1 Police - GONE !
    1983 GPZ750, aka ZX750A1 - restored, fresh paint... Gave it back, it was a loaner !!!
    Check My Albums for some of the 30+ headaches I've dealt with

    I know -JUST- enough to make me REALLY dangerous !

    Just a follow-up...
    If you can't wait for the "correct" springs, it seems almost ANY clicky-type pen spring will work.
    you may have to cut lg. Seems they are all about 4mm od and 3mm id.
