Replacement carb bolts

[JRossi17]

Is there a place i can get new top screws etc for my carb without getting rebuild kits. I just need all the screws as most of mine are stripped.

If you are looking for the screws that hold the diaphragm caps on, the rebuild kits don't contain them.

Check with Z1 Enterprises. I know they have stainless Allen-head bolts for the engine covers, not sure if they also have carb kits.

You can also check eBay.

Im guessing most of the screws are the 4x12's that id need?

Not sure about the length, but a few of them might need to be a couple of mm longer, due to the cable holders on #2 and #3.

I picked mine up from Ace Hardware. Those, the ones for my bowls, and the ones I needed for both mounting rails came to just under $40 or so.

x2 on Ace for metric bolts. That's where I got my carb cap and intake tube replacements. Just take an old one in and match it up.

$40 ? I'd go for the titanium ones at that price. Anyways, in my stumbling in ebay a while back I found an outfit in WV that has kits for different carbs and they seem to know the difference between VM and CV. Go on ebay, and go to item# 370495806560- hopefully still listed at $10 plus shipping. This kit is for top and bottom of carbs, but they have others.

Check that you need 4 x 12 socket cap heads for your carbs.

I have just replaced mine and they were 5mm x 12mm for the tops and 5mm x 16mm for the float bowls (to compensate for spring washers) Also use the 16 mm for the brackets.

Got mine at Lowes.

I replaced all of the bolts except for the Rail-bolts.
It costed me under $20 I think.......all stainless Flathead and 7mm socket-head.

And a bag of washers too!

If you have a choke cable hoder on the top you need 2 16mm as well.Though they where 5mm.Lower rail on my 85 750 was 6mm x 16mm IIRC

Try Stainless Cycles. I got a polished allen set for the entire motor for $35.00+ shipping. http://www.stainlesscycle.com/catalog/

I just bought a set from Z1 Enterprises.

It was easier (and cheaper) for me to order them from Z1 and deliver from USA to Australia than to get them locally. Go figure.

I doubt Australia will have any local retail left soon if we can't work out how to provide decent online catalogues and ordering.
