Idle screw springs?

08-18-2007, 11:49 PM

Tore into my carbs today and found the PO had left out the idle screw springs. I'm assuming I should replace them. If possible I'd like to pick up something from Sears tomorrow. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I bet the springs, washers and o-rings are still in there. Take a flashlight and have a look. They get corroded and stuck.

The washer and o ring were there, just no springs.

You will need to buy some carb kits to get those springs
