What is the thread size/pitch/length of jet cover screws????

[SuperJETT]

I forgot to post this earlier, going to order some from mcmaster and don't have one in front of me to measure.

Darin, I picked up some from Lowes......... think it is a M4, maybe smaller.......

 

[Prem1x]

This probably doesn't help, but the last time I checked the ones on my Keihins, they were 4mm x .7 x 16mm.

Thanks, I just got home and measured M4x.7x14mm.

Yup....mine were stuck and got stripped. Had to get a shopt o remove two of them infact.

Lowes had the perfect size and in flat head so i was stoked..I hate phillips

Jesse, flat heads are even worse to get out when there is a problem.

The Lowes/Home Depot/etc don't carry stainless metric around here, I've looked.

I've never had a problem witha flat head....it seems they never strip. I made sure i was so carefull with my carb screws about pressure, angle and driver size and they still stripped.

I'll stick with my antisieze and flat head.....I'm sure in some cases they are not needed but its just my thing. It started out in RC cars and has satyed with me....I always convert my phillips to allen or flat ASAP

I can find only one store around here that has any stainless metric stuff..:bs2:

And ever since lowes bought eagle they dont have much of anything!

Ain't that the truth.

I am using Jetskisolutions' SS carb screw kit - those are all Allen head. They work great.

I messed around with a carb with those in it, hated it, took forever to get it apart because of having to switch sizes. I can take my carbs completely apart with 2 screwdrivers, and if I'm doing popoff it's just one.

That is a concern - however, I now have a little carb-tool baggie that has the three or so sizes in it.
