Lost Carb Springs

[keithtraffic]

Does anyone know of a source for the small springs used on the throttle slider link arm?

Having had to completely disassemble the carbs I took the opportunity to have them and some internal parts vapour blasted to clean them up. Unfortunately the operator who undertook the work was unaware of the presence of these small springs and they were lost during the process and I can't seem to find replacements anywhere!

What carbs are they and on what bike?

If i were you i would go and buy a lottery ticket, that has to be the most obsure part i have ever been asked for and the PD is a carb i avoid like the plague but i have 4.
PM me an address and i will check postage

Massive thanks to Bryanj who miraculously did have the exact springs

Here they are fitted to the arm assy ready for carb reassembly, which I hope to get round to at the weekend.

Thanks again Bryan!

Thats OK makes the bitss box smaller, but not by much!!

Just a thought but now you could really confuse future owners by putting the "fixed" linkage in a carb other than No2,  or is that me just having evil thoughts?
