Indy - Welcome to Ch11! Many assembly questions can be answered by the Yamaha parts fiche. Go to the parts catalog, key in the particulars, click on carbs, and blow the diagram up as big as it will go. Find the parts, and check below the diagram for the description. I'd do it for you, but thought it would be better to teach you how to fish
.
I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.
'79 XS11 Standard, Jardine 4/1, Dyna DC1-1 Coils, 145 mains, 45 pilots, plastic floats - 25.7mm, XV920 fuel valves, inline fuel filters, speed bleeders, Mikes XS pods, spade-type fuse block, fork brace, progressive fork springs/shocks, manual petcocks, 750 FD, Venture cam chain tensioner, SS brake lines -
On my 78 and 78 standard models the needle spring goes in the hole at the bottom of the slide (on the inside) the clip goes in the middle position on the needle, the small washer is under the clip so it is between the needle spring and the clip, and the plastic spacer goes on top of the clip. The whole assemble goes through the spring in the bottom of the slide. Once in place you pull and hold the needle in the full down position and install the plastic needle holder followed by the large clip that secures everything in place. The plastic needle holder only goes in one way due to its offset pins. Make sure the large clip is fully seated inside the slide.
