Topic: Carbureator Part Missing

First, a couple of pictures:

The missing part



It goes inside the spring that is pictured.  There are these springs for both banks of the carbs.



My question is will the fact that I have lost, and no longer have, the black pin effect the operation of the carb?
Then, I guess, if it would effect it, does anyone have one?

Gave this a bump.  Lots going on here and this is getting buried.

I don't think that piece is 100% necessary and you'd have a catastrophic failure if it weren't there, but I'd put a shim of some sort in there just to be safe.

That little pin goes in head side down underneath the spring.  You probably already know this already.  It makes direct contact with the ball end of the shaft for in your case the #1 throttle.  That spring has less surface area and isn't meant to be in direct contact with that ball.  Will it still work?  Yeah it will, but there will be no play and when the throttle goes up even if you are synced, that #1 is going to probably lag behind slightly since it's missing and there is going to be a little more play in #1.  I do have one I can send you.  I'll PM you.
