Calling Nikki Carb. Rebuild Experts

I'm rebuilding the stock Nikki carburetor in my 85 GS. I feel like an idiot, but I forgot where these go. I have 3 weights and one spring. The spring I can probably figure out, but I'm lost as far as the weights. If anyone can tell me where these go it would help a ton. Thanks Jon

Spring goes between acc pump diaphragm and carb body. One weight goes under the acc pump nozzles, another goes under the acc pump inlet. Each of the weights has a tiny check ball that goes under it.

2 down 2 to Go

Okay so I now know where the short fat weight goes and the spring. I know where one of the other weights goes just not which one. If some one could tell me where they go and which ones goes where that would be great. Thanks Jon

Left to right.

Fat one you know
Skinny one goes where the blue circle is (ball goes in first underneath it)
Long medium one goes in the choke horn above where the richer solenoid is.

That spring isint the acc pump spring, its too small. Its for one of the solenoids. Either the fuel vent or richer solenoid.

I looked in all my repair manuals and I found the richer solenoid is, but none of them say anything about the "Choke Horn" could someone post a Pic. or diagram or give me a better understanding of where this is? Thanks a Bunch Jon
