Buying carb mixture screws???
« on: 14 August 2017, 05:17:33 pm »
well had my carbs off again as i had to reset the float heights again as i was off a bit and running lean
and noticed one of my fuel mixture screws was snapped at the head
anyone know where i can get them at a decent price - £25 upwards seems extortionate
i cut a groove in it with a hacksaw so can still be adjusted if i dont get new ones

Did the skinny tip end of it snap off? Getting them out is awkward

it was just the screw tips x head bit (if that makes sense)
still does everything as it should for now
getting it out was easy just using a hacksaw blade to cut a new groove although that did damage the carb body a bit but needs must

Been there with a sized & broken off screw got it out the same way, just as easy using it with a slot rather than buying new it's not like you need to adjust the air screws often !
