The button head Allen screws -either the part where you insert the Allen key is a sloppy fit or the Allen key is worn. I got tired of trying to remove a brand new Allen head button screw as the heads stripped. I bought JIS screws on McMaster -Carr and am replacing all the top carb screws.1980 XS1100 SG
