Air screw screwed?

[cranemonkey]

So I'm going through the carbs (83 850L) and notice I am missing the small washer that sits between the air screw spring and the O ring on #1 carb. Could (should) this cause rough running/other issues with performance, or is it of minor cruciality? If anyone has one of these carbs laying around junk and wants to send the washer, I would be eternally gratefull. No notation on the fische for the airscrew and assoc. parts...can't locate a # to order one. Thanks!

I think it's there to help squish the spring and keep it from smashing into and tearing the oring. I would make sure you have one in there. Are you sure it isn't still up inside the carb? Often times the washer and oring can stay up there when you remove the screw. Post in the parts wanted section..someone probably has one. Or check mcmaster-carr and similar places for a replacement.

Washer

I'm sure someone will offer up a washer. As far as your lack of a washer affecting the running condition of your carb...personally, I think it's zero; there's something else going on and it won't be as easy to remedy. (I wish I didn't know....but, I do.)
