Title: Updated float bowl drain screws.
Post by: dkits on March 22, 2020, 04:31:34 PM
Incase anyone needs to buy OEM Suzuki replacement carburetor drain screws for their '95 or similar GS500e, order part #13247-28A00. It features an additionally convenient hex head. Now you'll have two total ways of stripping them out!

Unless someone knows otherwise I am going to give these a try in my 2002. It's my understanding that the 2001 and 2002 carbs differ from earlier and later models but it does look like these should work. I'll wait a few days to order (I'm in the middle of doing the top end anyway so there's no rush) and I'll see if anyone wants to comment on me using them on the 2002 carbs...

If you don't get a definitive answer, I can measure my drain screws for overall length and thread type so you can try to confirm if they'll work.

I should know, I have 02 carbs - but they're lying in a box in my other house 100 mi away. Its a week+ away before I can run there looks like.
