#135 main jet wanted

[jleewebb]

part #99102-13504. #135 main jet for cb77

I don't even want to talk about what happened to my old one, but to my mind sharing knowledge or lack thereof is part of the deal here, so, here's a tip:

When removing the main jet (carb still on bike), take the time to go get a proper sized socket and remove the jet holder, take it to a towel on the bench and remove the jet. Otherwise it's easy to drop, apparently can bounce a long way off the top case and be lost forever.

I've tried the usual suppliers with no luck.

Thanks in advance, Lee

Let me look thru my old carbs I just might have what you need.

An old friend is bailing me out on this one, has one on the way to me. Thank you sir!

Thanks to two other members who responded here and to anyone else who was planning on looking through their spare parts stashes this weekend to try and help.

Lesson learned, I hope. I promise to slow down and be more methodical when dealing with tiny pieces in the future. Working on a big piece of cardboard on a covered deck has its dangers; there was only one gap between boards that wasn't covered, but that's apparently where the darn thing bounced to. I used a shop vac to vaccuum under the deck and spent about four hours sifting through leaves and dirt to no avail. Too bad it's a brass piece, I've successfully retrieved other stuff from up under there with a magnet on a stick.

If your luck is like mine you'll find it 20 minutes after you get the thing all back together.
