Source for pilot screws ?

[exdirtbiker]

Z1 is out of stock on Pilot screws?

Anyone have any info when they will get more?

We've had them on order for a while - just waiting for them to come in from Japan. Supposedly we'll see them in 2-3 weeks.

I have had some luck with chucking them in a drill and sharpening them on a file or sandpaper. They won't be perfectly alike but with some tuning effort you can get it to idle evenly.

Are the broken off tips still stuck in your carburetors?

2-3 weeks is OK ! Thanks !

The funny thing is, all 4 carbs have clear holes where these things go. I tried poking a wire through, but wires I have are all too thick.

-> Anyone know what size the holes are?
( I Will try a pc of guitar string tonight, Carb cleaner does squirt right through. )

If the holes are open you can see light through. No need to go poking stuff in there.

I'd try sharpening them like Tom suggests. Just need an even point shape. Replace them later with new if necessary.

Guitar string works, use the smaller sizes The air hole from the carb inlet to the pilot jet hole then to the hole the air screw goes in can clog up. Its a blind hole, blow thru it & make sure its clear. That deal drove me nuts on a carb last year
