In another thread, I have been dealing with carb issues. At this point, I need to order carb idle screws- one had to be extracted- and the local yokels can't seem to locate them in this century. Is Mike's the best place to get them, or any other reccomendations? Is there a particular designation or anything? They seem to have different descriptions of what they are called, depending who you talk to. 1980 xs special....Thx

Do you need a full set of four? If not I can send you a couple I have left from when I rebuilt my carbs, they are used and You'll have to get some small orings and washers if yours are missing. There is nothing wrong with the ones I have, just replaced them because new ones came in the kit. PM me if your interested, otherwise yes, mikes xs has the correct ones.1979 xs1100 Special -

When you start buying those small parts ala carte, they're pretty expensive. You can get them at Mikes (Part #48-5011 for 80/81 carbs) at $10 a pop (with springs, washers, and o-rings). The other option would be to get complete kits from George Fix - $68 for 4. Whichever way you go, make sure you've got the old o-rings out of the tunnels before you put the new ones in. They usually have to be dug out with the appropriate small pointed object.I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

I got mine in a kit from Z1 Enterprises. I replaced all the jets and stuff all at once, just to be sure. Most of the other vendors I found did not include the idle mixture screws, which is why I went with this kit.1980 XS850SG - Sold
