Missing a carb piece

[nitz]

I have a 1979 GS850 and as I was looking/working on it earlier I noticed that a piece of the carb is broken/missing. On the number 4 carb (farthest on the right in case I mixed up the number), it's missing the assembly to allow the carb to rise/open. both the while plastic part and the part is connects to. I've looked at diagrams but I can't get any detailed enough to find out what I need to order to fix this. Any ideas on what I'm missing? I'd post pictures but no digi cam...Thanks

Check this link, it has names of the various carb parts.

I'm guessing you need a choke plunger and maybe the forked link to lift it. At any rate, post more details on what you need.

Thanks Nessism, I need the plastic top to the plunger assembly, or maybe just a new plunger assembly if it's easier, and I think the forked link lift, as there is nothing to grab the plunger assembly to lift it.

You can't buy those parts. If you are unable to find a used one let me know and I will check my boxes of spares.

I have spares from some 550 carbs, parts should be the same but I'm not positive. Drop me a PM if you want to discuss more.
