Title: What size hex screws for carbs?
Post by: bombshelter13 on May 30, 2011, 09:02:33 PM
Hey guys,

After little luck with Seafoam, I think I'm gonna take the plunge and clean out my carbs this weekend.

I've heard a lot of complaints about the screws that come in the carbs as stock, and have heard of a lot of people replacing them with hex head screws. I'm figuring that if I'm going to be in their anyhow, I may as well do this while I've got things disassembled anyhow.

What sizes of hex head screws, and in what quantities, would I need to replace as many of the carb screws as is reasonable? Thanks!

EDIT: Bike is an '07 US F model.
