    Fuel mixture screw and flot bowl plate bolt

    Two quick questions, hopefully quick lol

    One is where do I get a fuel mixture screw for my bike, I seen them for bs-34 carbs but not bs-32 and didnt want to order until I know it's either a fit or theres a different one.


    Also what size bolt are the float bowl plate bolts, I dont need one I need a washer to make it into sort of a stud, the threading stripped on the way out? Never thought thatd happen but I guess with almost 40 year old metal It slowly bent from the pressure of the bolt being fastened.

    Gotta get the stupid needle bit of the fuel screw out the carb gonna use a paperclip or safety pin and lots of hope.

    Edit: got it out

    I know i probably have a heavy hand, luckily both of these happened on the same carb. I guess the problem is I want to make sure things are tight but not everything needs to be so snug.

    With the fuel mixture I did the 3 turns out but I'm guessing it broke when i tightened it in all the way.

      You said it broke when you seated it? Did you get everything out yet?

              This is it, I did see an aftermarket one on ebay but I heard that aftermarket brass pieces usually arent up to par, here's the link for it though.

              MIKUNI AIR SCREW. Fits many Mikuni BS series carbs as used on many Yamahas. Check the size compared to yours before you order as Yamaha never listed a part number for these! - 6mm threads. - 25mm end to end.

                  When you get finished adjusting the pilot screws pack their holes with bearing grease. It seals them off from moisture, and keeps you from having future problems with them sticking.

                      Well this is unfortunate, I should've checked the measurements first, I went ahead and ordered the aftermarket one aswell and well, both were too big.

                      Anyone know where I can find a correct one or anyone have an extra I can buy?Snapchat-2112216009.jpg

                        The float bowl bolt situation is fixed, got it working like a stud now.

                        I dont know if this is a far reach but if I cannot come across the correct length fuel mixture screw, would it be possible to use the mikuni bs34 fuel mixture screws if I were to replace all of the original ones?
