Well to say the least Im upset over a little bitty spring. I went to rejet me carb and all was going well no stripped phillips head screw or anything got the top off needle out all was good. Went to make my adjustments and put the needle assembly back in and what happens I loose the little spring that goes on top of the needle.

I have searched on here with no avail on a replacement. Does anyone know of a sping other than the factory that will work? This is on an 05 DS.

Also when I pulled the needle apart I saw some things that concern me. Here is what I had from bottom to top.

Thin metal washer, white plastic washer, eclip, very thick metal washer, thin metal washer then the spring is this the correct assembly. DS had the Dynojet kit installed when I got it.

Thanks
Clove

 

you can order those springs from dynojet

 

Im trying to work around the ordering thing if I can I have a trip planned next weekend and dont want to spend the money to overinght a $2.00 part

 

next weekend, get 3 day delievery for less & buy a spare too!

 

a spring off a pen will get you by untill you get you stock one

 

Does any on the order of the spacers on the needle also.

 

The order, as from the factory, is as follows from the top (flat) part of the needle to the bottom (sharp) end of the needle:

1) grey plunger
2) little spring that tends to get lost
3) thicker metal washer
4) c-clip
5) thick nylon white spacer
6) thinner metal washer

That being said, you can reconfigure the order and gain some benefit. Do a search for "washer order on stock needle" and there is a long discussion on it. Also, do a search on "stock carb mods" for a discussion of further easy mods to the stock carb that result in even more benefit. Good luck!
