Stripped mixture screw
10/11/12 at 13:10:03

So, I have this *friend* who can be a real moron sometimes. He was fiddling with the mixture screw on his 2009 S40 and somehow managed to strip out the head of the brass screw. I told him he was using a screwdriver with a blade that was too thin and trying to manhandle that poor, delicate screw was a bad idea. He's going to try an appropriately sized screwdriver, but if that does not work where does he go to get a replacement screw. Searched and found nada. Thanks.

I have one brand new that I don't need. I bought it to replace my old screw but i couldnt get the old one out. I have the screw and the Oring. I paid $15 I think for the parts from the dealership. Mine is for a 1995. If you need it I will send it to you in a padded envelope fia US mail for free as long as it is the right size for your bike.

I will post a picture of the screw I have and measure it when I get home.

I'm not sure whats up with my PMs, but I've tried three times and it does not look like they are going through. I'm a little sleep deprived so I'm chalking it up to user error. I looked the part numbers up and I believe they are the same for both years. Prior to 1995 the part number changes so I'm pretty sure they are the same. I don't have the screw in hand, so cannot compare to your pics.
Shoot me an email: dmarckjr@gmail.com and we can work it out.
Thanks much for your help. This is the second time in a week someone on this forum has helped me out directly with parts. This forum rules. Grin
