Hi all,
I was removing the needle jet and I pushed alittle to hard and the insides went flying.
I think I found it all but wanted to check with you guys before I ajustband reassemble the carb.

Looks like its all there.
Make sure you seat the needle first then the retaining ring which looks like a bow. I made that mistake and had to disassemble mine again...

The PWK30 (OKO 30) is a true 30mm bore straight through and is a half moon flat slide carb. It will flow more air than the VM26, which has a choke equivalent of a 26mm bore. It also has a choke plate blocking incoming airflow and adding turbulence. In short, the PWK flows more air, more smoothly, and will allow for more CFM at the top of the rev range.

Only if you plan on porting the head, removing the cat and installing a free flowing exhaust.
