087a Mixture Screw Springs
« on: August 28, 2015, 06:06:41 PM »
I had a mixture screw spin out on me due to a spent spring.

Anybody know where I could source new springs for my 087a's?  Or... maybe know the original length, so I can try and find some online or locally?

I'd rather not spend $40 on a carb kit just for the springs.  I wouldn't use anything else in the kit anyways, since I have all original Kiehin parts.

Thanks in advance!

JV,
You just need one spring?

Only 1 has spun out on me, but I can tell I'm not getting very good tension on 2 others.

I might have a spare that I could float your way, but if you think you need a full set I would check with member Harisluv.  He's the carb go-to guy.

Cheers,

Thanks G!  I haven't heard back from James, which is why I posted here. I will try him again, and if he doesn't have any available, I will get back to you. Really appreciate your response!
