Anyone Here Ever Break This Part In The Carburateor Slide?

[treewhacker]

I was changing needle settings, as I was reassembling the needle into the piston valve (Slide) I pushed the little plastic stem with the spring in and some how broke 2 of the little tabs off (there are 4) where the rubber O-Ring locks into. Now I can't install the needle hold down stem. I can't find the part # in my manual. Anyone ever have to buy one? How Much?

I did the same thing last year while playing around with needle settings. Mukini could have thought of a better way to keep the needle seated. I seem to remember the cost of a new one was about $38.00. Only took about 3 days to get a new one.

Same set up in my Midnight Venture. I broke one last summer while re-jetting. Just have to be real carefull when you pull out the needle and when you place it back in.

I'll sell you my rack of carbs for 200.00. Then you'll have spare carb parts.

I broke one last year , it's easy to do. you will develope a feel for it if you do it a couple of times . I put a little dab of grease on the plug and that seems to make it easier to do without screwing it up . :wink:
