First trial run on carb springs. I'll get the system down better but made some progress grinding the center. Then just cut them with snips but I'll work on grinding the two legs for a more uniform and precise spring. Will have to make some sort of jig. The .003 material seems good and there's plenty of it for making mistakes.

I thought a new thread would be a good idea for looking to source new Bowden cable/conduit tubing for the O&R throttle cables. I have a long NOS conduit here (the inner wire is a separate part) which I've measured today, with the plastic sleeving on it measures approx 0.145" to 0.15" (depending where you measure) and the steel core measures 0.125". The separate inner wire measures approx 0.047", this may vary slightly too. I noticed the plastic coating is removed where it enters the carb on my mini-bike. Here is a thread on another forum (which was one of the first search results I found the other night), there are a few different suppliers mentioned that have different types of Bowden cable. https://forums.stanwinstonschool.com/discussion/4182/extra-fine-bowden-cable One of the links has some conduit tubing that might be suitable, the second one in the list could be suitable with the plastic removed (OD is 0.153" with plastic coating), maybe email them to confirm. https://bergencable.com/_media/products/control_cables/pdfs/conduit.pdf David

Threw one in real quick just to test it out. These are gonna work, and even better once the process is dialed in

Thank you for the reply, very helpful. Here are some pics of one, maybe you could identify the small piece I found in the box it came in. I also would be interested in any parts you could lead me too that I might need to rebuild 2 carburetors. Could also use a new black receptacle. Again, appreciate your thoughts . Rob
