Hello I have made a terrible mistake and took my carbs apart freestyle without researching first. The problem with this is when I separated them, the front carb synch springs flew away and I only found 2 out of 3. My problem is that I cannot find replacements anywhere! I have bought carb kits hoping the various springs they come with would be the correct ones, but no. I have even went to the hardware store to try and match the springs but that didn't work either. If anyone can point me in the right direction on where to purchase one or more or would even sell me one or more I would be delighted!

The springs I need are circled in red.

 

If you can't find any for your f2, try going up one generation. The f3 has them. If the inside diameter works, you can use them. If you do this, replace all the the springs with the same kind.

 

I ordered a compression spring set off Amazon and if I can't find the exact ones, I will replace all three with the same new ones like you suggested.

 

When I am removing/installing these springs, I run a piece of dental floss through them. That way they are tethered if they launched themselves.

 

Wonderful idea, thanks.
