Topic: CB750 F2 ‘77 PD41B Slide Assembly Link Spring

[zalion0]

I’ve been troubleshooting with my PD41B carbs  (poor idle with no choke and engine dying when initially opening throttle) and was reviewing my carbs again. I have noticed however that carb 2 appears to be missing the slide assembly link spring as shown in the attached. Should carb 2 have an assembly link spring (only as I’m convinced it’s missing) and if having no spring would cause any issues.?

Buy a spring.

Ones in order. Do you know what function the spring performs? My research so far has drawn a blank.

Good question.  I think it holds the link in place but it's been a while since I messed with a PD carb.
