Identifying unknown part

[TXA Phoenix]

I'm reassembling a 1974 TX650A and have a part that I can't remember where it came from. Can anybody identify it and tell me where it goes?

I have a 74 and never saw one of those, could it have gotten into your parts by chance? what other parts were with it?

 

[weekendrider]

Right side throttle stop screw for linked carbs? AKA sync screw. Is there a small spring and clip with it?

 

[cros36]

74 didnt have linked carbs.

looks like the bolt that connects the blinker fluid reservoir to the muffler bearing.

I always keep a few parts like that in my pocket and add them to the collection whenever I am visiting a "work in progress" Wink.

Looks like part of a worm gear assembly, like on a hose clamp.

threads are too shallow for a hose clamp.
I believe that thar is a whoskadousker!

+1 to the muffler bearings.

Kind of a running joke at the automotive parts house I work at.

That'd be #5 in the illustration below.............

Close but I don't think so, the 74 doesn't use that brake and IIRC #5 doesn't have the groove.

Thanks for everyone's help in trying to identify the part I was having trouble with. I thought it may have come from the clutch or transmission as those were the parts I was removing and cleaning from the cases before having them glass beaded. Then I thought it may have come from the BS38 carburetors as I was inspecting them before rebuilding them but the threaded end would not fit anywhere. So it must be a stray part from somewhere else and not from the bike that got put in with them by some unknown means..
