I was wondering if anyone had a picture of a finished set of 1970 mikuni 38 carbs. I've got most of them back together, but I need to see where all the lines go. If anyone has a set, could you post some pics of them?

Your bike is a 1970? Then I believe you have the curved steel band that operates the choke on your right carb, when you depress the choke lever on your left carb. That little piece you have photographed looks ( to me ) to be the choke activation lever for your right carb. The brass nut should be the retaining nut for the choke assembly .
These reference photos are from 2M’s collection, carbs are from a ‘71. Your part circled in red.

Thanks a bunch! I have the one for the right carb, I think I need the longer one for the other carb though. Any idea where I'd go to look for that?
I’m not sure exactly which part you’re referring to. The lever assembly, the shaft that it mounts to? Can you see which part number applies to the part you’re looking for? I can tell you this much, aside from things like floats, gaskets, and jets, most of these things are unavailable from parts companies. Especially with these early carbs, you may have to search EBay for parts or whole carburetors. I would also suggest posting an ad in our classified section for parts wanted. A lot of our guys have a lot of parts stashed.

I need the pin thing that attaches to the steel band. I have the smaller one, but need the one for the other side. I didn't see it in the diagram there, so I'm not quite sure what to search for.
Then I believe you’re referring to part numbers 43, 45, 47, 49, and 50
That’s the shaft , the retaining c clip, starter lever, lock washer and nut

Here’s how to read the parts book, for example this is the part number 43 I was referring to.
The factory part number is the long number beginning with 256. You can do an online search on Google or EBay. Type in Yamaha #256-14977-00 and see what comes up.

Thanks a bunch man. Found one and bought it. Little more than I wanted to spend, but that's what I get for losing it.
Thats just kind of the way it goes with early machines. I had to buy a complete set of forks just to get a few parts I needed. It’s a labor of love!
Glad you found what you needed.
Is there an online parts book
I've been just getting my OEM parts numbers by using Partzilla fiche's but their diagrams are a bit fuzzy
