    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carb screws

I took my carbs apart to clean them and in putting them back together I noticed that the screws that go into the top lid and bottom bowl are getting worn out. They appear to be the same size screws, just the bottom bowl ones have lock washers and the top diaphragm lids do not.

My question is, can I just get them from the hardware store? They look like normal machine screws to me. The parts websites want $2-something a screw, plus shipping, plus waiting time.....I could probably get a whole box for $5 at lowes....
 
Hi yes but i would get Metric socket cap ( allen head), Stainless steel just take one of each size you need , ace hardware , or see if you have a fastenal comp near you,
 
What bike are you working on? Please edit your profile to show what bike you have and maybe even an approximate location on this big blue marble we call "home".

You can find carb screws on eBay, but it will be up to you to choose the right kit, because we don't have a clue what you have.
