I took apart my entire engine and am rebuilding it now. I was going to start on the top end when I found this tiny spring on the bottom of my parts box. I don't remember the spring when I took it apart. Should I be concerned? Does it belong somewhere in the bottom end?

dimensions:
length: 7mm
outside diameter: 3.65mm

Picture dimensions can be deceiving but it looks like the pilot screw adjustment spring for the carb.

Maybe from a handlebar switch??

It's not the pilot screw spring. this one is much smaller.

Think it's from one of the handlebar switches . Looks just like the springs in this thread:

Well, I'm happy that I didn't forget anything. This is my first time putting an engine like this together.

Didn't my CBX have tiny springs in the carb float valves ?
