I did my first carb separation and everything went great until I bolted them back together and I may have crushed a carb synch spring.  I can't find a part number anywhere for them.  They measure 10.2 long and 5.8 O.D.  That's an odd size and doesn't really match up to a metric or imperial size.  Anyone got a part number for them or could I just use a generic 10x5 spring from amazon?

Are you talking about item #6 on the carb component exploded view? The screw and associated parts come as a set which includes the spring.

I think #6 is the bigger spring that goes between the butterfly cams?  Or do yo mean it comes with that spring?  Sorry I don't have a picture the on board picture hosting keeps giving me an error when I try to upload.  This is the little spring that holds tension on the synch screws.

You can see one in the the opening picture in this video link

Its just to the left of the intake port and between the carbs.

I wound up ordering

they seems to be the right size and wire diameter.
