    replacing screws on my 1980 GS850G carbs

    hey everybody,

    i'm in the middle of a carb rebuild. all is going well, thanks to the advice and resources provided by this site and from its members.

    i had a bit of trouble with one or two of the old screws. i was able to get them off with a little patience, PB spray and a vice grips. now i'm looking to replace all the screws. (top plates, gangplates, fuel bowls).

    last nite i was looking on the computer and saw the specs for all of these screws. but i cant find it today....frustrating. can someone point me to where i can find all the screw sizes etc?

    also, can i just go to a hardware store and get hex-head screws of the same size to replace these screws?

    thanks in advance for any help.

    FR

    Just go to ace and you'll get it. Or, you can order screws from www.cycleorings.com

      on my carbs for the 450 it was M6x1.00 for the gang, M5x0.80 for the top covers and M4x.070 for the bottoms and the choke assembly. I would imagine that your screw sizes would be the same since those are the standard metric sizes one would see. Got those specs from Mr Flaming Chainsaws GS450 carb rebuild guide. They were snug going in, but are fine now. Good luck.

        You can get stainless steel allen screws of eBay.Sourced them locally for my 750


        Even with shipping it's less expensive to source them from the US.They are standard metric sizes BTW
