chrismejia Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 This past weekend I took out the carbs from my 1976 XS500 to give them a good cleaning and light rebuild and discovered that I am missing the springs from the carb chambers. So, I am hoping one of you guys may be able to guide me in getting them. Maybe one of you has an extra pair laying around? Any help would be greatly appreciated. $? Here's what they should look like (from Clymer's manual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted April 15, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2009 may be if you know the size, maybe someone with a 650 can help as they look too big for springs from 400 carbs drewps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this why I have not received much help on my request. just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I need to become a member of that site before I can look at the post. I've done that but It's been several hours and still no sign of the activation link in my email box. I may have to create a new account. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my option for now is to get one of those over priced carbs being sold on eBay so that I can pick my parts from it. Thanks for your help drewps.
