069A carbs

Gilby50:
Hi all,

I never stop being surprised at what people will do to save a bob or two.  My 550 will never be perfect but it will be safe and will run right.

I have started rebuilding/restoring my spare set of carbs with new viton `o' rings etc to replace the ones on the bike which I know have some corrosion in the no 3 carb.

After removing the float chambers, I see 3 main jet retaining springs and the fourth jet is held in with something that looks like a blob of locktite or similar - what a bummer.

So, has anyone got a spare leaf spring about that I can purchase/obtain from them to put it back as it should be. Postage will be paid of course.

Many thanks,

Peter

Bryanj:
You can get stainless ones from 4 into 1 in the US

Yes, I had seen these but as I only need one, nearly $59 incl postage looked a bit expensive so I thought I'd ty a request on here to see if there were any in the U.K. first.

I'm breaking a bank of 069a carbs, I have No2, No3 and No4 carbs but no No1 as it had a 623B carb fitted for some reason.

I can't believe you can't buy a spring separately, even when they were new they weren't listed.

No idea what a spring is worth.
