Are my carbs missing springs? (see pictures)
« on: December 04, 2022, 08:02:32 PM »
Hello all, I'm rebuilding my PD carbs and I seem to be left over with a couple small parts and I can't figure out where they belong.  The carbs have been sitting disassembled on the bench for over a year and it's possible the large spring doesn't even belong with these carbs.  Can someone take a look at the pics and verify?  Thanks!

Go through a parts fiche carefully and check for those parts. You have some brake parts there for sure in the mix.

Check the arrows and I think your missing several parts in the circled area.
