Name That Carb Piece

[qwqb]

Hey guys,

So I'm working on cleaning/rebuilding my carbs, and as I was handling the carb body, a small piece fell out and I didn't see where it came from. It is a small, black ring, with a mesh (filter?) in the middle. I didn't see any mention of this piece in the gsr carb cleaning series.

That is your secondary fuel filter that sits over the float valve.

Actually, it should snap on top of the float valve.

ah, ok! thanks for your attention to my never-ending barrage of questions!

 

[Steve]

That's the only way you are going to learn, unless you just beat yourself to death, trying to figure something out.

Was this a CV thing or what? I didn't have this part

Although he does not have it listed, I happen to know that he has an '81 bike, and it should have CV carbs.

You don't have your bike listed, either, but at least your username is a clue.
If you ever get a different bike, you will have to remember to mention it, it's just easier to be lazy and put it in your sig.

Haha, you are right! Yes, my username is my bike if I change bikes I will have to update sig, or change names.

Thanks for clearing that up, I wanted to make sure I was not missing anything inside my VM carbs.
