Restoring bikes is a constantly frustrating process of two steps forward, one step back, isn't it? Well at least it has been for me
So, I finally got the choke assembly yanked out this morning -- hooray! But in the process, I also managed to yank away the spring that had been inside... Guess I am now taking the plunge to install the plunger.
But the more frustrating part is that the gasket for the pilot screw set is broken. I have a K&L Carb repair kit, but none of the gaskets in the kit fits. And I only found websites in the UK and EU selling the whole pilot screw set. Of course, I rather just get the gasket itself.
While I do want to keep costs to a minimum, it is not my overriding concern. I also want to know how the "ecosystem" works surrounding bike restorations. So, is it possible to get just the gasket? in the US? If so, how do I specify something that doesn't even seem to have its own part number?
What US websites do you rely on to get parts for your Skorpion?
Thank you again for all the advices through this adventure.
