Starting carb disassembly today

[alnmike]

I was wondering how hard the cab screws were to undo. I stripped about half of mine when I tried to take the varna apart. I heard someone on gsresources sold the hex head set of replacement screws.

which ones are you calling the cab screws? Did you mean carb screws? I know I had to cut a slot in a couple of them on the metal piece that all the carbs mount to as well as the ones holding the intake boots on but Ive got the bolts to replace them.

crappy part now is that I have to wait until next week to get that little filter part. But thats ok, Ive got other stuff to do and it saves me some money versus having it shipped.

If you mean the screws that hold the top (diaphram cover) and the fuel bowl on, you really need to (a) use an impact screwdriver to remove them, (b) throw them away, (c) replace them with stainless steel hex screws.
You need 4 M5x14 & 4 M5x16 per carb, for a total of 16 each for a 4 cylinder. You could use M5x16 for all of them with no appreciable loss, just some of the screws will stick out a bit.
If you can't find them here or locally, I picked some up at McMasters Carr for a really good price.

I'm using a phone to type so sometimes drop letters or spell different words.

Yes those hex screw sizes are exactly what I needed. Thank you. Going to order the oring kit today.

well the carbs are all back together and ready to go aside from the #1 carb which is mounted to the rack and everything, just waiting for the replacement part to finish putting it together.

Now I get to deal with another problem. I got 2 of the intake boots off, The other screws need some more time soaking to avoid stripping them out. And one of them started to come out a couple of turns then the head snapped off the bolt. (HOORAY!!!!) Guess Ill pick up an easy-out or left handed bit tomorrow and see if I can squeeze a drill in there, battery box will probably have to come out.
