    Sourcing a spring for CV carb diaphragm

    I think I might have misplaced one of the springs that pushes the diaphragm in the carburetor back down. On account of I can't quite find it right now. Any particular site to order these from? Z1, cycle recycle, etcetera? I can't seem to find them, so if anyone has a recommendation or link that would be great

      Note that they are not a "one size fits all" spring.

      If you can give the diameter and the free length, it would help a lot.

        I may have offered too soon....get us some measurements and I can check. Most of mine are from the 850s.

          They are pretty big, I don't see how they or it could have gotten far. It's not like losing a fuel or air mixture spring. Keep looking or hire a neighborhood kid to crawl around and look for it. Get the one the other kids call eagle eyes.

              90mm long (3.5")
              by 17mm diameter

              still not found it. I thought it was a fuel line spring and ignored it, could be anywhere now
