1980 KZ 1000 mikuni #2 carb pump check valve retainer

I was re-assembling my #2 Carb accel pump and the small wire check valve retainer sprang out into parts unknown within my shop.   Any one have one for sale or know of a vendor who may have them.   They come in the pump re-build kits, but I would like to get just the "spring wire" retainer.   HELP!!!!!

You can made a DIY clip out of an equal spring diameter and wire thickness, e.g ballpoint pen spring....

I have a couple of these kits.  It never hurts to replace the diaphragm (or both, if your carbs use two).  

I think the clip you need is included.  Sorry, I don't want to break up the kit.  

$10 + shipping, if interested.
