Lost it
rob_of_cf:
While I was in the process of reassembling my carburetor I lost the small retaining spring for the main metering rods. Since this brought this small part to the forefront of my mind it makes me wonder what the purpose of this small part is and how it helps the carb operate. I would enjoy any enlightenment on this subject as I am eager to learn. I am also forced to try and discover my best means for acquiring a new one to replace it and would accept any advice on that front as well. Right now I have been mainly trying to find a whole unit from a scrap yard but this seems to be becoming a difficult task.

Welcome to CHP!
This one: Early
Or this one: Later
Since you didn't mention carb number, I don't have much to go by. As for its use, not sure. Other than retaining the primary metering rods. :)

It is 1703 as listed from edelbrock. The clip is of the latter style you showed there. Sorry for omitting that and thankyou for the greeting. :D

I would give Cliff a call. He might have one just laying around.
