carb-needle spacer

[dtkid]

Do any of you mentors know where I can find the little donut-shaped spacers things that sorta act like a "cap" on the needles. They are colored kinda yellow/brown just like the plastic inside the slides.

Orrrr.... is there anyway I can put these CV-carbs back together (and obviously have them work) by substituting something else (washers, etc.) for the cap-spacer. I'm only missing one (how I lost one I'll never know).

Also, where is the best place to find new 0-rings.

Thanks Much for the Input: David

Just found the 0-rings with Robert Barr.

I'm not sure if I'm quite clear on what you mean but I THINK I've got ya...

I think the doughnut things you're talking about go on the needle under the E clip. You slide the needle into the doughnut and then into the.... the...slider part that moves up and down. I think its called "the vacuum slider thingy". Needle holder? Anyway the needle goes into it and then the three pronged tree on top of that.

Corrections anyone?

Well your sorta right. The donut-thingy goes on the very top of the needle (even above the e-clip). The sequence from top to bottom is:

donut, e-clip, washer and then down in into seat of the slide the donut stabilizes the needle (from the top of the needle) where the yellowish/brownish cone-sorta shaped cap drops into the slide (on the top of the needle).

HEEELLPP!

They are still available for my 83 GS1100GK from http://www.bikebandit.com try looking up the model yours is (not sure which bike you are working on). The ones for mine run about $3 each and are bb p/n 482028-001 and the way you describe the order of placement is correct.

Thanks a mighty bunch Dan, that is exactly what I needed. The part is for my 81' GS750L. I'm pretty sure they are the same as yours.
