Topic: Identify this carb part

[NCSUEngineer]

While rebuilding my carbs with an ebay rebuild kit, I found this in the pack.  The silver cylinder thats sitting inside the throttle slide gasket.  What does it do?  I couldnt find a place for it when I rebuilt. The carbs are for a 72 CB500.

needle jet (I meant to say)?

It is either a

(1) Bungme bit
or a
(2) Wheeeeeee bit

depending on your mood at the time ((2) fly father!)

Or to put it another way never found a use for it in a 500, i believe its for one of the other bikes listed on the kit.

My second guess was going to be Bungme bit...

WAG (wild assed guess), But,, Some carbs have an insert which lives above the emulsion tube/main jet holder. often referd to as a "needle nozzel" which provides 2 functions,  1st, acts as a "needle guide", & 2ndly as a quasi needle/jet /orifice. look to the bottom of your'  carb's intake throat where needle enters lower venturi , if it's brass, I'm totally off-base. luck g

Its not the pivot pad for throttle is it? (have to remove top nut under cap, there is a ball joint under it)
