choke plate screws
« on: December 21, 2017, 06:35:28 PM »
HI everyone,
Im new to the forum and new to old bikes that dont run. I have a 1979 cb650 and the previous owner stripped half of the screws holding the choke plates in. I was able to remove the screws but I dont want to try to use them again.  I am having a difficult time finding replacements.   Maybe Im calling them by the wrong name? Thanks in advance for any suggestions/ links where to find them.
