Title: unkown part fell out from my carbs please help :D
Post by: madacakuk on July 27, 2023, 07:56:59 AM
So I was cleaning my carbs and while I was opening the bottom part this little guy fell out. I have never seen this before and I opened my carbs at least 20 times before. seemingly its not even part of the carbs but how else would it be in there? Any ideas what this is? thanks!363444285_679009313588199_2392006829877164502_n.jpg363284943_3161656624131586_6447807269901721420_n.jpg363459491_683617176921847_7967491567479192568_n.jpg

Sorry, it does not ring a bell for me. Last time I was in my carbs was abouti years ago though. It's certainly a jet of some kind.
What year is your bike / carbs?

Hey Herenhow

The bike is from 1997.
So the jets that are similar are on the air filter side. I have 3 set of carb maybe I just dropped one of the parts somehow on my desk? lol
