Title: Lost Carb Springs
Post by: keithtraffic on May 09, 2020, 07:56:14 PM: 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!

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!
