Parts for Dellorto carbs
Hey all, I am trying to get my carbs finished up. I need one of the little "weights" that looks like a bb.  Seems one of them dissapeared...

Re: Parts for Dellorto carbs
He has two carbs right? But he only needs one of the little weights? That would, I assume, mean he has the other one? Do they share the single piece? Idk. I have not found bb looking things in my dells yet so I wasn't sure what he needed

Re: Parts for Dellorto carbs
Found it!  Turns out it was just REALLY stuck in the carb, even after a soak in the can o doom and repeated sprays of carb cleaner... so I have all 4!  Just waiting on CB to get me a few more pieces...
