I was rejetting the 6R tonight and while I was disassembling one of the carburetors lost a spring, looked everywhere for it but no dice. The spring in question holds the needle in place on the diaphragm, the needle slides into the diaphragm, followed by the spring, and then a little locking piece of plastic that depresses the spring to hold down the needle.
Question is, is the spring tension an important factor here or can I swap in a reasonably correct match to replace it? It looks to me like the only purpose of this spring is to hold the needle in place, but carburetion is a black art which I am not schooled in so I wanted to make sure.
If it's gotta be the right one, the ayers has it for only .90, but it's 7 bucks to ship the damn thing and it'll take at least a week to come in
