    Fuel/air mixture screws part source

    I'm rebuilding the carbs and these stupid SOB's are going to be useless by the time I get them out. Anyone have a good source? Bikebandit and mrcycles are a wash. Their fiche do not show those screws with the carb diagram. I know the dealer fiche shows the screw, but I'm trying to avoid the gunpoint prices.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Nevermind, found a seller on eBay that had rebuild kits that came with what I'm after.

        Thanks Cliff. I was a bit miffed yesterday when I was trying to remove a couple of those mixture screws and the further they came out, the tighter they got. Needless to say, the heads aren't looking pretty. I went ahead and ordered four "repair" kits off of ebay that come with just about every internal part for the carbs. I only plan to use the new screws and just keep the rest for spare parts. I know the last time I had to order a single mixture screw I could only find it at the dealership and it ran $38 for the screw, spring, washer, and o-ring per carb. The kits I ordered were $25 each.

          Z1 Enterprises sells the screws seperate for pretty cheap. Lots of people have spares laying around too so keep this in mind in the future if you ever need parts like these.

            Typically I'd have tried that route (Jethro was kind enough to send me one before) but I'm trying to get the bike squared before Brown County, and my work schedule is insanely hectic next week. I have only a few days to get everything done in the 11 days before the ride.
