I would gladly owe you a beer or root beer or ice cream...
Get me a diameter of the clamp to make sure I get the right one (I have a couple different sizes) and PM your address to me, I will get it out on Saturday.

Awesome - Thanks - Check your mail
As near as I can figure it is about 60 mm diameter...
Depends on open or closed...
I KNOW I didn't loose it..so it may never have been there..
I think the Previous owner tried several things to get it running but couldn't and wouldn't do a proper carb clean..
The slides were ALL STUCK tight with varnished gas so it would've never run..hence I got it cheap...
Friday will be fine as I am working Thurdsday - Friday & Saturday at my extra 1/2 time job...so that makes 2 13 hour days followed by an easy 8 ...Sunday...have to wait for the schedule to come out...

You could even go for a leisurely ride around the block with them jammed closed.

.
But the green goo in and on many of the jets probably had something to do with it too...
And the battery I was using had enough energy to turn it over ..but maybe not enough to start it..that battery has since been recycled...
I WILL get it running - once I get the air box clamp thing resolved..
While I am waiting for the part ..I can do other things that need done...
Brake calipers removed & cleaned - Master cylinder drained adn cleaned and brakes re-bleed with fresh fluid.
Oil & filter change
Tires mounted - (sitting in the garage right now)
The list is getting smaller --
