Late last riding season. It felt that one or more of my carburetors were either out of synch, sticking or something else. As it is almost March, I decided to give my 89 750 Kat a once over. I removed the air box and decided to check the slides. I was on the right side of the bike so I started with carb #4 and worked my way across.
#4 slide was alright, as was #3, but when I check #3, it was getting stuck about 2/3 the weay up. If I played with it, I could get it to go all the way up, but it would get stuck again. This was consistent with the problem I was experiencing. I removed the cap of carb #2 and this is what I found:
Half the spring was horizontal above the diaphragm. The other half was down in the tube. A new oen is $5.49 at the dealer, so no big deal, but I never had a carb spring break in half like this.
