Couldn't you cut a piece of 6mm alloy to shape, drill for the screw,
Make a gasket, and fit?? Or you could buy a sheet of carbon fibre, the sort that is used for models, Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 10

Could I suggest something I do,
Take the bike for a run about 15 to 20 miles get it nice and warm When home, keep the engine running, put on centre stand Get your long screw driver Now ,turn one airscrew a quarter turn out, Check what happens, blip the throttle, OK? If it struggles,turn to previous settings But if its OK,do another, repeat, and check Remember, Modern fuel is different than 50years ago, It might like a leaner tickover Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 12

Often stuck to the oil filter and often accidentally binned. I have 3 engines here and none of them had the washer.Yes, the 500 has them Fit between filter and spring Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk |
