        That's an air cut off valve. Different animal.

          Greg, not sure if you checked yet, but here's a list of bikes that have that same spring:

          http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/ya...933-10-00.html

          Might broaden the search some. HTH
          1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors )
          1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
          1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
          1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
          1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

          Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

              On boats.net, click the year, model and part section needed.

              Find the # of the part on the schematic, go down the list and click on the part # of the corresponding schematic # and you'll get the list of all models that use the same part.

                        Every bike so far JW.

                        That bike you got from me would be a beauty with some TLC. If the engine isn't locked up by now from sitting outside next to the garage.

                          Its wrapped in plastic and under a tarp. I think its OK.

                          DON't think its gonna get put together though. I will probably wind up bundling it into a sale sometime in the future as I expand out of the motorcycle and parts storage business...

                            That was probably one of the most complete bikes I ever got. The only issue was the plugs frozen in 1 and 4. Had to pull the head to get them out.

                              I had an 81 virago 920 with the full touring pack. I never got to ride it. THey have starter issues a lot and it didn't have a title. I did ride a little vstar 650 twin and I thought it was going to be very weak. it had way less horsepower than our bikes but it had good torque. It actually felt pretty strong, never rode it above 50 though.

                                Yeah, the starter clutches are weak. Not too bad to change though, I did one on a 750 (I think) and it just involves pulling an engine cover to get to. This one is still working but makes some nasty noises sometimes.
