    I set my four pilot screws from my 86 carbs down in my friends shop, upon removing to trouble shoot the bike wouldn't quite start. I had to leave bike at his shop for a couple months. In the meantime the screws walked away, or got dumped....So now I am trying to locate a part number, and have had a hard time with Babbits, and other outlets finding a splody drawing that I can actual read. If anyone can point me at a link or picture I would appreciate it.

    Those are the numbers I got also, along with same good news. However just hung up with friend Jeff who found the 4 screws. He is mailing them to me tomorrow. He also found a couple on ebay a couple months ago that he is send to me. Big Phew! I hope that the don't get lost in the mail!

    Thanks everyone for the support.

    I have the pilot screws in hand. I am set to install them along with springs washers and o-rings. Question .... to hold everything in place while inserting into the threaded opening at the side of the carb, will the smallest touch of silicone grease to hold the o-ring in place while inserting hurt anything? I could probably get them in there just thought I would ask.

    The oring usually is snug enough to keep everything in place, but a tiny bit should not harm anything.

    Give the oring a light coating all around so it doesn't bind or curl on install, with perhaps a small dab to hold if needed.
