Does anyone know what size screw to attach the top to the carburetor? Metric screw maybe M 4? Takes 16 screws-need extras.

Take old one to hardware store and buy new one with an allen wrench head. Much easier to work with.Jeff Korn

Your welcome. The hex head bolts are so much easier to use and I just can’t count the number of times I’ve had those carbs apart. JeffJeff Korn

I've had a problem using them and others have as well, it's easy to put too much torque on them and strip out the threads so be careful!1980 XS1100G

I agree it is much easier to strip the threads out of the carb. One thing I have found with the hex head bolts is that if you buy them a bit longer then OEM philips (JIS) headed screws that you have much less chance to strip anything out. More to work with.Originally posted by LAB3 View Post2 - 80 LGs bought one new
