Little screws?
« on: December 11, 2009, 12:50:02 PM »
Hey guys - I'm looking to replace these small screws that hold the plates to the throttle arms inside my carbs. The heads were pretty soft - this is the best one of the bunch. Went to a few bolt/screw places here in Nashville and they didn't have anything this small. Any ideas?

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

Have not had to replace those but when it comes to screws of any type the best (retail) supplier in my part of the world is Ace Hardware.  They generally have an excellent selection of quality fasteners.  Forget the home centers and auto parts stores, they just don't stack up.  Ace is the place!  ;D

Could be wrong looking at the pic, but those look like the same size that hold the blinker socket in place.
