1980 GS850 BS32 Carb Float Needle Valve Spring Source?

[DesertRatliff]

My carb saga continues: working on a new to me 1980 GS850GT with the BS32 CV carbs. One of the float needle valve springs is not there and I can't find a source for it or even a part number. Plenty of float needle valve and seat assemblies but none I can find look like they have the spring included. This forum isn't allowing me to upload the pics I have of what I need but here's a rough image of what I need (note: the spring is this type of clip-type; not a coil spring, etc). Please help if you can

Try a more specialised dealer of Mikuni bits, like Niche Cycles.

You don't need that needle retainer thingy. If you just can't live without, I'd post in the Parts Wanted forum.

Don't need it? I can live with that. Especially since my search is turning up zilch. The carb diagrams I've looked through don't even have it listed. Unless someone makes an argument otherwise, this GS will save some weight without the 2 milligram retainer. Haha! Thanks for the info, Ed.
