    Throttle Stop Screw Thread Size

    First of all, I'd like to say that I've been lurking around these forums for a few weeks and there is no way I would have made it this far fixing up my new toy without all the helpful people here.

    The PO had somehow stripped the threads on the throttle stop screw underneath/behind/between carbs 2 and 3. Does anyone know the thread size/pitch on this screw? I would love to find a suitable replacement at the local hardware store or Fastenal. Should I just pony up the $20+shipping+wait-time for the OEM replacement? Thanks all for your help!

      Thanks Chef, I PMed you. Anyone actually know the specs on these things? My curiosity is still piqued.

          Cant say I didn't see the Mega Welcome coming, but thank you! I was able to use a section of the screw with good threads (until Chef's screw gets here) by attaching a spacer to the throttle stop plate where the idle adjust screw contacts it. Now if I could just get the darn thing to start...
