Who here knows the sizes for the screws on a BS34 carburetor from a 1983 Suzuki GS1100ED?

I know that the CV caps and float bowl screws are M5 x .8 x 16mm and will need 32 screws total for that.

But what about the gang plates?

There are 8 screws for the gang plate on back of the carbs. Then there is another 8 screws that are a little bigger on the front and bottom of the carbs.

What size are those?

Thanks for any help!

M6 x 1.0 x 16mm
 
One gang plate is 5M and the other 6M.
 
er um 16 for the one I quoted. The other specs should be the japanese standard. I doubt Suzuki would buy one off screws.

Yes, 16mm is for one of them but what about the other? I'll just go to the hardware store and check.

Ok well the parts numbers on places like alpha-sports decode.
The fasteners that I have compared are all standard soooooo.

I feel your pain Nessism is the machinist giuy so he can chime in.

I thought that M6 was a diameter of fastener and the last foctor was length.

The middle number is a mm per thread count the standard for M6 being 1

so good golly go to alpha sports and assume that the part number has standard pitch as a given.

So M6 16 is the meat of the issue and the 1 in the middle is a given unless otherwise specified.
