Ooops! Broke my slide (a little) 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
Alright, how's this for a ham-fisted, bone-headed move? In doing a little rejetting this weekend, I broke one of the four plastic things that rise up to hold the little grey plunger thingy that holds the needle in place inside of the slide (never seen a cheaper slide in all my years) Anyway, it's not completely broken, it's just sorta flopped over a little; the other three prongs are actually doing the job of holding on to the o-ring and the plunger thingy and the bike runs, but I fear I'll need to find a new slide sometime soon. Just how expensive a mistake was this? Anyone have a slide they'd like to sell? Anyone else done this?

And you're not the 1st one to break it. Use a little saliva the next time, slides in a bit easier.

MidStar I have a gutted 99 carb in the garage I used to have a vacuum slide in it. I will get the boy to check tomorrow and see if I still have it. If I do I will send it to you.
