need help with carb springs!

jsadler83
hey guys this is my first forum deal, as i am getting kind of desperate and i see how much help you guys have been to other people. anyways, the deal is i picked up a '78 cb750k last summer and it was torn apart, the guy i got it from started to tear it apart to fix a broken piston ring and got stuck and gave up. as of right now i have gotten it back together apart from some odds and ends but bottom line is i have ridden it. background aside, the problem that i am having is when this guy took it apart, he misplaced the throttle return spring on the carbs, as well as the spring on the pump linkage for the carb pump diaphragm..i cant order them from anywhere and have no idea how big they are or anything, so if you guys know how big they are and how strong they are i would greatly appreciate it so i can try to find something close to what they are...any help is much appreciated!

The accel pump spring should come with a new pump kit. You should be able to get one from partsnmore.com. I got one there and it works great.

The throttle return spring I think is still available from honda. However I do know some dealers are not too helpful so you might have to call more than 1.

You can also look in the online retailers list on the site here. Some places are boneyards and some have new parts. I bet one of them would be able to get the return spring.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
