Air fuel mix thumb screw
Did a few google searches and didn't come up with much, basically I've misplaced my springs and orings for my air fuel mix screws. I was just about to drop 15-20 dollars when I was reading over the new cycle gear mag and came across these.
http://www.cyclegear.com/eng/product...rew/web1008828 It says it fits keihin fcr carbs just curious as if these would fit our carbs? Could save me some coin and will be easy to adjust!!! |

Fcr thumb screws are smaller threads than cvk, no go ;(. Still for 10 bucks I can use the spring/oring.

Bummer those didn't work out for you.
Helpful suggestion for an adjusting tool: I disassembled a bicycle mulit-tool (about $5 or less) and I kept the flat head tool. It's a metal shaft that's about 2.5" long with a loop in the end. The loop at the end does 2 things 1) it gives me a reference point for how far I've turned the mix screws, and 2) it gives me a little leverage to turn the screws. It's definitely the perfect tool for that (without paying for a right angle screw driver) |

i went to harbor freight and got a right angled screw driver with flex , u can remove the flex part and attach a extension to it with a screwdriver end and it works great. it takes tips so u can change it to any u want.

I know this thread is a little dated now, but I did indeed recently find thumb mix screws for our 250r. Factory Pro now sells them. -->Factory Pro fuel thumb-screws
Shipping sucks, so if you haven't already bought a jet-kit, now would be a good time. What does not show in the picture on Factory Pro's site is that part of the end is flattened to serve as a reference mark. This way you you know exactly how far you have turned the screw. It's big enough that you can do it all by feel. I installed mine today and couldn't be happier.
