mysterious bb from carb?

[cheezy]

hi! i've started cleaning my carbs, and i found a small bb on the towel i laid down to catch anything that fell out. i've repaired carbs on goldwings, and an xj750, but i don't remember seeing anything like this before. i thought it was a fluke, until i pulled the second carb apart. as i was loading everything into the carb cleaner basket, i noticed another bb. any ideas before i move on to the next carb? thanks!

Did you break them apart from the rack? there are a couple of them wiyh springs to hold the enrichment lever at the stop points

[mro]

About the only think that looks like a “BB” on our carbs is the ball detent for the enricher shaft.
Has two…

never mind

i found a carb parts diagram on the net, and they are the balls for the enrichment rod. i tried to delete the post, but no go...

[cheezy]

thanks mro, you posted faster than i could keep up!

[motoman]

the little springs for the detent balls I assume must have totally escaped? detent no-worky without the missing teeny-tiny springs.

[mro]

without the missing teeny-tiny springs

We both can't spell worth a cr@p, but you can type faster than I can...

wiyh think i no-worky
Now all we need is for Kat to come along and make fun of all three of us,
that means you too cheezy


mro
OK, dpotter58 can't spell, I use the wrong words and cheezy lacks a shift key on his keyboard
no-worky, offical tech term submitted by motoman

Do I at least get a half-credit for official technical term?.....at least should make up for not knowing how to insert smiley in a particular place since site upgrading.......help?

[mro]

submitted, not approved (TC be the judge)

Do I at least get a half-credit for official technical term?

Certainly not,
your not an "official GURU" yet, soon maybe but not yet


mro
BTW,
I know it's difficult motoman but look to the left of the reply box
gotta be a dozen smiley's there for the clicking

[mro]

but look to the left of the reply box

umm...

look to the right
hard to tell left from right sometimes...


mro
Where's Prom when I need him?

If it makes you guys feel any better, this entire thread is now making me feel like a much better typist!! And like I even think out my post before submitting. (ha...like that will really ever happen)!!

There must be something in the water from the Rocky Mountains that only flows down to the west (I thought about saying east there just for MRO.). You know it seems kind of dangerous to be riding on a MC you worked on if you get confused about which direction is lefty loosy and righty tighty!!

[motoman]

The water?..........Caly stole it all!


BTW, icons are at bottom of message box same as before. I click on a particular one and it automatically goes to title box. Had SWMBO give a go as she is a 'puter guru, nothing has worked yet to insert elsewhere. Anything mechanical...no issue, computer even being total logic irritating when logic fails. Tried 'drag', etc......again no-worky(same official tech term)
