pilot fuel screw not available/shown in parts list

try midwest action cycle, bike bandit, or cycle parts nation for the part new

the screw in question is not listed, so i may need a carb or if someone has one they are parting out, i only need the pilot fuel screw as seen in the vm rebuild resource-Paul Musser's write up.

but does this fit my carb? i had bought the same kit for the 79 550e and it did not come with that screw-and the kits came from them too!
thanks for the reply

The 550 kit does not come with the fuel screws for some reason, but the 750 kit does and the screws are the same.

plot thickens

thank you for your help, now i followed advice, got the carb kit for the 750 and put the pilot jet needle in, it stopped short,then i backed it out and saw that it was bent(crap), looked at the carb in the daylight and now see why it was bent,someone had put the first screw in to far, it broke off, the same or another person had put another screw in and broke it like i almost did, so this port is stopped up, and this carb is junk, will post request for carb it the want ads

Do a search because there are threads where people have been able to successfully remove the broken tip.

Do a search because there are threads where people have been able to successfully remove the broken tip.

Search function is a beautiful thing! There used to be a nice thread with photos showing someone using a long awl/punch to drive the broken tip back out from the carb throat side.
