(*#$@% Carb screws

So I managed to bugger up one of the carb screws on the top and the other three are very well stuck so I didn't want to try those till i get the other extracted. I'm headed to the store soon and wanted to know if anyone knows the exact size/thread for those in an allen head screw?

Those screws are made from Japanese goblin iron  Grin

Been there, done that, that sucked  Wink

Youll need M4 x 8 to replace the screws in the top !

Use a pair of vise grips, grab the sides of the head and twist.

Mmmmm, according to my gauge, they're M5x10 on top and M5x16 on the bottom.



But if you're going to replace them, try something other than Philips head.

I haven't noticed the screws to be so bad for cheap.
But the trick is to use a good driver, and don't let it slip even once. If it even starts to slip, you're done,..... you mite as well just go get another beer,....cuz you're gonna need that one and more !
