    Thanks. Bartlett is a 'burb of Chicago. Rock Falls is about 2 hours from here.

    I tried to go thru one of the local Suzuki shops but since there is no part number for the pilot fuel screws he couldn't help. Told me that the screws came as part of the carb body assembly and were not sold separately.

    I thought I was going to have to buy a whole rack of carbs just to get the two screws. Then, lo and behold, my box from Z1 shows up and in it is the one carb rebuilt kit I bought "just in case" and the screw is in there!

    I ordered a few more kits and they showed up yesterday. If all goes well I'll get the carbs put back together tomorrow. Can't wait.

    Thanks again.

      In regards to your carb cleaning project, select wisely the parts dip basket you will purchase. Shop around and ask questions at auto parts stores which is best to use. The formulation has changed dramatically
      in the last 5-years due to EPA enforcement and compliance. I have
      not seen a quality dip basket that is both effective that cleans well
      and removes gunk and varnish during the cleaning process.

      Good luck to you rproject !!

          Yeah, I'm getting there myself. I wanted them to be good and to care. I think they try sometimes, but not much.

          The guys in the back turning wrenches have been good to me. Old school...good guys. But I'm trying to do the work myself and save some $$$ so I don't talk to them much nowadays.

          The parts counter is a crap shoot. Sometime you get a guy who knows which end is up, but your just as likely to get somebody that seems like they just walked in off the street and started standing behind the counter because he had nothing better to do.

          Maybe they know the new bikes or something but unless I have the part number they are lost. Plus, it has always worked out that I can get the part for less from Z1, BikeBandit, or Flatout, and that includes the shipping cost.

                ... i know, sorry preacherman ...

                i gave up when wanting to order a part for the engine and the guy asked me about the FRAME number. he couldnt be convinced he actually needed the ENGINE number even after i told him i have a later model engine than what the frame is
