I just reassembled my carbs on my 79 GS850 and I thought I followed the directions to the letter. I have a piece that I am not sure where it is supposed to go. I have attached a picture. I haven't gotten to the part to put the carbs on the bike yet but I just did a manual sync for the sliders to go fully open and fully closed. Could someone please look at this pic and tell me what they think this piece is and where it goes? It's a little round cylinder tube. Some kind of sleeve? it's metal.

I've never seen anything like that on the VM22's or the VM29 smoothbore carbs. Are you sure it's from the carbs? Almost looks like brass. Do you know what kind of metal it is?Ed

It's brass. To be honest a friend disassembled the carbs. It may not be from them but I just want to be sure. Where else do you think it would go?Comment

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me about the VM26's will chime in, but I've never seen a part like before.Ed

How about this part?
Like I said, I didn't take them apart and I am following the instructions on the article on bike cliffs site the best I can. Do these even go on the carbs?

Yes, that's where that second piece goes. There is a grove in the rod that the piece fits into and then screws to the post on the bracket.
I've rebuilt several sets of VM26's, and that first part does not look like anything I've seen. I don't think it belongs.Comment

In case you needed a third opinion, I don't think that first piece is from a Mikuni VM either...Comment
