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

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.):rolleyes:
 
I have one.
I also need to send one I promised someone else.
Pinch me so I remember. Been working too much.
 
I have a few spares as well. If Chef want's to keep his, PM me and i'll give you a few, just throw me a few bucks to cover shipping.
 
it seems like we all are just loving our p/o and the things that they forget/dont put back in carbs ..... i am in desperate need of the spring that fits in the air screw ...... p/o must have lost it (and as you know theyr is no part num or listing for it)
