Mikuni Flatslide jet problems..

[Xpress]

Well I found out why my throttle stuck on my T3 yesterday when I was riding:

It got stuck in this up position, thus preventing the slide from closing fully. Looks like there's a pin missing there, but there isn't anything inside the tunnel where the entire assembly fits in. So how can I fix this issue??

Here's a diagram

I'm still confused as to why it easily slides back and forth. I'm not seeing a little brass retaining collar, like mentioned on the other forum, and it doesn't look like there was ever any one on there. My question is how can I fix this?

It looks like (part#39, jet) threads thru 38 into 37. Missing the ring(38)? On roundslides there is a small brass washer for (38). red locktite til you can replace that part?...Beets

37 and 38 are the jet and the shaft assembly, part 39 is a plastic ring that slips onto the carb itself, not the assembly.

The washer, err.. ring, on the main jet in bowl should hold it from going UP UP and away...

But that's just the thing, there is no washer..??? :wondering:

I went outside to look for it, to see if I missed it or something, and nothing.

Sorry, I'm seeing on the diagram part#39 is the main jet. You mean 38 is mounted to carb?

It's just a plastic ring that slips onto the carb over the main jet.

Thats weird. I'm use to tapping those down from the top; I've never seen one rise up. You must be missing something in there...........
