Where to get replacement carb air screw

[Cmarino]

Hi all --

One of my fuel-air screws on my '82 650s (Mikuni BS32SS) carbs were severely stripped by its previous owner, and is in the process of being bored out by a local shop, and I'm going to need a replacement screw. Where can I get a new one?

Also, while I have your attention, what is the easiest way to reinstall carbs and airbox? If I put in the airbox first, I can't fit the carbs and same vice versa. If I try to do them both at once, I can't fit that either so i'm very confused. What do you guys do?

Thanks

hopefully, they know what they are doing....the damaged screw needs to be removed without destroying the mating female thread. A left hand drill usually works nicely if done carefully.
the air box needs to go in first and pushed as far to rear as possible by removing any obstructions. Then carbs .

To fit carbs on, put the second half of airbox (half that xonnects to carbs) in its area first, then slide the carbs in its area but have the section that connects to the airbox and intake boots above them, get throttle cable connected, and then tilt the carbs to fit on the airbox first, once on airbox get them fitted on intake boots.
