WTB Carb Screws

haze5736 · July 7th, 2011, 03:05 AM

I'm looking for some carb screws if anyone has some from a trashed carb. PO stripped out just about every screw head. I am in dire need of the float bowl screws and the 8 on top. Thanks.

I stripped out 2 of my float bowl screws, I ended up dremeling them straight across so I could use a flat head to get them out and replaced all of them with allen head bolts from Lowes, cost less then $2 and much better then Phillips imho. As for the tops I'm assuming they're the same size and thread pitch so you just need to find the correct length.

Just a suggestion

I may have to go this route but figured I'd see if anyone has originals first. Were they standard steel bolts?

Go to home depo and get allen. The philips head or more correct pozi drive screws tend to strip. The allens are nice.

they are trashed because someone used a Phillips head screwdriver to remove them before. the screws are actually JIS screws and using a Phillips on them will eventually strip them out.

replace the stripped screws with some metric Allen head screws/bolts.

I have them, let me know a detailed list of the screws you need besides the 8.
