If you could take some pics of the problem i'm sure i can help you out.
I'm afraid i dont really know which part your talking about yet so i can even hazard a guess

Thanks lads yes it was item 15, unbelievable as it sounds late last night in a drunken stupor I figured out where item 15 fitted into the throttle housing and it only took 3 days, at least I'l know next time, I love my bike but is there a more difficult machine to take the carb out of ! even cleaning the plug was an operation a bomb disposal expert wud be shaking his head at, anyway thanks again lads for the replies

Yes there is a more difficult bike to take the carbs off...

Honda CB500....

Firstly drain the cooling system
you then have to remove the seat (lifts off via lock)
then remove the 2 side panels
then remove the 2 radiator shrouds
then remove the fuel tank
then remove the hoses to the carb
remove choke assembly
then loosen the carb clamps
and then wiggle the airbox backwards and wiggle the carbs out...

writing it down makes it sound easier than it is...its quite a fiddly job...:S
