I'm in Southern Calif, and I have been getting so many requests for parts
that I'm thinking about opening up a used parts shop.  :)   I have four
extra solex carbs in the garage that I scavenge parts off of, so if you
tell me *exactly* what spring you need, I can probably get you one.  As
is my policy, it will cost you lunch... I eat cheap though.  :)
