78' GS750 Carburator Hose question

Those Philips are JIS screws. A subtle but important difference.
You can avoid lots of grief and stripped / mangled screw heads by equipping yourself with just a couple of JIS drivers, either from Amazon, ebay or one of the members here sells them.

Not sure if you've started in with the Berryman's and the 24-hour suggestion here or not, but WORDS OF WARNING: The Berryman's dip for 24-hours will likely cause weird stuff to happen to your carb bodies. I dipped one for 24+ hours, came out to the garage to find out it reacted pretty well, popped the lid open, and left a dark grey oxide slime on the carb body. Took a very long time to scrub all of that off and get it looking better. Now that specific carb body oxidizes whiter than the others AND I'm worried about how much material was lost in the threads and small passages and how much of that powdery oxide is still lingering in the areas I couldn't get a brush into and had to rely on spray carb cleaner and compressed air. The other three carb bodies I dipped AT MOST for 2 hours at a time, limiting the overall time to 4 hours (which I believe is recommended on the can for aluminum alloys). Just wanted to give you a heads up that there can be some undesirable results that make more work for you if you just soak the suckers to death.
