    I don't know what they are, but you will need both the diameter and the pitch. Just thought I would mention it.
    You may wish to mention which 1100 it is, they came in a number of flavors.

      True, several flavors, but they all used basically the same carb.

      I believe the thread size is a rather hard to find M6 x 0.5.

              Eric says it's a 6mm x .50, and I agree.

                  Take it to a supply house with a tester to see what it is then would be my next suggestion.

                          It matters not, whether it's .5, or 0.5, or .5000
                          it's still the same thing.
