    Hi all,
    Wish I was on here more, but do to being laid off and find work that is nearly impossible, my bikes have to suffer.

    Just sold my last 75' CB400F SS...she will be missed :sad:

    But anyways, I posted a long time ago saying that I was rebuilding my carbs, and unfortunately my pops threw out the carb sync springs.

    I can't seem to ever find them on Ebay, and so I was wondering, does anyone have a part number for these springs?? I looked online, but no luck.

    Gonna try to track some down through some old cycle shops around here.

    Also, would anyone have 3 extra's laying around that I can buy off them??

    Thanks for the help

    Ace Hardware, Lowes & Home Depot have assorted small compression coil springs, might try one of those. The spring assortment from Jabetc might work.

    Unfortunately those springs won't work. Tried all hardware stores both little and big chains.

    I'll try to post some pics of the 1 I have. Maybe someone has some laying around *fingers crossed*

    I have a set of used '86 VF 500 carbs for parts, but springs are missing, though all other parts are available for sale.

    Diaphrams are all OK.
