WANTED: info for source of fine-thread bolts

[Steve]

It's obviously to late, but I found this?

http://www.cheapcycleparts.com/oem-parts/yamaha/1985/vmx12nc-v-max-1200-california/carburetor

Item 22 priced at $6.08.

Not a bad price, but it's the wrong part.

That is the pilot screw, I am looking for the carb sync screw, which might be part #21. However, the sync screw on these carbs is different than those on the XS series, so I can't say for sure. If #21 is the sync screw, it's $13.11 (ncluding the spring), which is a pretty good price, but still can't guarantee that it's the right size for the GS carbs.

If testing this weekend is successful, I might be able to offer up sets for about $10, which will make carb sync MUCH easier.

Finally have all the parts to give it a try.

The dies that came are only about 3/4" in diameter, so I had to find a suitable handle. It came in the mail today,
I will be threading some bolts in the next couple of days to see if all this will work the way I hope it will.

I just looked back through this thread. After several suggestions (which came within 24 hours), I ordered the first (incorrect) die and was given an estimated delivery of June 26 - July 15. This was shown in post #19.

After that die arrived (from China), I ordered one of the correct size (again, from China). After that one arrived, I had to locate a handle, so ordered one from the other corner of oHIo. It arrived two days before the first one was supposed to arrive from China.
