    carb bolt size

    well the p/o realy helped me this time .... while he did rebuild the carbs (what ever that means to him) he managed to destroy every philips head bolt in the carbs.... so now i was left with the job of removing then to do the job corectly . and now in the intrest of doing things right i want to replace these bolts ... so does ne one know the thread pitch for any of these bolts......

    The carb bolt size depends on what bike you have.

      Hi,

      Check the parts fiche. The bolt's pitch and length are usually part of the part number.

          Hi,

          Yeah, Robert Barr has the fasteners for the intake boots but does not sell bolts for the carbs themselves. Have a look at the parts fiches for your bike. What are the part numbers you need? Mr. bwringer is really good a deciphering part numbers.

              Bikebandit does not use real Suzuki part numbers, so forget them.

              Here are a couple of places that do use real part numbers:

              http://partshark.com (Great prices!)

              http://alpha-sports.com (Horrible prices! Great fiches, though.)

                Why not just take em to the nearest Ace and size em up?
                I'd suggest replacing them with hex head or allen head stainless.

                  02142-05127 (replaces 13605-47090)

                  i dont know how to read the part nums but what i realy need is like i said the thread pitch and bolt dia
                  thanx for all the help so far and i hope some one can explain how to read these nums for me (it would be a helpful skill to know)

                        Doh! I forgot I "borrowed" that information from Brian and put it on my website. Sorry!

                            Torn up carb bolts, that'll happen!

                            When I went to do my carbs, the previous owner left EVERY single screw stripped or deformed.

                            I had to hit them with PB Blaster and Liquid Wrench, let them sit under a work light(Stanley yellow square worklight at wal-mart)

                            I was using a Socket Extension as a punch and a Hammer... and tapping the bolts loose.

                            I actually had to use some weird punching tool my dad had laying around the garage.
                            I set the tip of that on the head of the screw, tapped the punch with a hammer a couple times(firm taps, not slamming it). And it re-forms the head of the screw back again, but usually caves it in TOO much, but that's what you want.
                            So then I took my screw driver, set the tip of it on the head of the screw like normal, but obviously it won't fit now(i just re-shaped it a little), so I take the hammer and tap the screw driver down firmly into the screw head, then I lean over it,grab the screw driver with both hands, lock my hands and arms, and slowly turn my whole upper body......comes out every ****in time.
                            Not all screwdrivers might work for this trick.....I had a brand new craftsman, it had a rubber grip, and the tip of the phillipshead was really squared off and very sharp, It's got some kind of silver aluminum look on the tip of it, it digs into everything.

                            Also, this probably only works on the crappy Zinc bolts that come with the bike, those are easy to re-shape.

                            ------

                            I went to Lowes and bought some steel Hex bolts and some Flatheads too.
                            No leaks, they hold good.

                              I've had good luck removing carb screws by using an impact screw driver.
