    Aftermarket or substitute fuel mixture screw

    Having next to no luck with finding a bs32 fuel mixture screw, anyone know of any aftermarket ones maybe a performance one will be a possible find? Or is it possible to use bs34 mixture screws if I replaced all 4 of them?

    Having a struggle finding the right length, the bs32 is the shorter one.

      I ordered the xj550 one, worth a shot. I never found those ones on ebay so huge thankyou for a better lead, yes they do have a different tip at the end. Will keep looking with this new info!

        I wish I could just swap them with a more common design, but I'm guessing it doesnt work that easily.

        I found an article from 2015 on another forum and some guy got aftermarket ones that were a perfect fit and could tune with your fingers....ofcourse when I click on the link they are nowhere to be found. I'm registering an account on that forum seeing that the guy is still active and maybe he will have an answer if there isnt luck elsewhere

          Actually, here's a good question, how well built are rebuild kits? It would save forsure time and possibly money, they do have the part with it, I just heard its not the best bet but in a situation like this maybe it is?


          Edit: it seems I spoke too soon, the fuel mixture screw is not the same design.

              Somebody said they might have some extra ones, hoping to buy. I'm about to have like 4 or 5 different pilot screws lol. Honestly if the Chinese ones work I'll pick up a set for future reference.

                My interest is due to having an 82 GS650Ez.........Biggest problem i see is the 81-84 650 BS32SS carbs were EPA mandated and preset from the Factory so there are no semantics that show the Pilot screw #. , (had the same problem with the Yamaha XS650's with the BS34's till i found a Japanese Carb semantic with a part no), Yesterday i hunted and tried to cross-reference with information from the other models that have BS32SS carbs. That is where i got this no, 13279-47070, and found this pilot screw,


                No guarantees

                Came across this that i thought the tip looked better and more like the one you have in your pic, but the top is different......and it is second hand to that could account for the shape of the tip...??
