CB550K3 rebuild - spare spring?

(1/5) > >>

Does anyone recognise where this flimsy little spring may have come from - it seems to be left over on my CB550K3 rebuild.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Looks a bit like a rocker shaft spring - hard to tell the diameter in the photo.

Oddjob:
Steering lock spring?

It might also be off the carbs especially if they are still the dreaded PD carbs, more springs than a mattress those carbs.

The spring is very loosely wound and is 12mm in diameter and 15mm in length. The actual wire is very thin, only about a mil at most. It doesn’t look as if it can be a return spring but rather some sort of spacer/cushion 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oddjob:
There are springs very much like those fitted to the CB500K and CB550F carbs, they are fitted to the throttle lifter shaft. Have the carbs been apart, I'm almost certain I've seen that spring recently, just can't remember where as I've got so many parts disassembled at the moment.
