1980 KZ 1000 mikuni #2 carb pump check valve retainer
27 Mar 2025 13:28
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.
