lost idle screw where do i buy a new one?

can someone please help me or tell me another carb that is better so i can put that on please... my bike only idles high and the c clip in the carb is great cuz the plug runs tan.. but i need to know how to adjust it otherwise.. or a simply fix till i can get a screw from somewhere ...:(
 
Sorry, I'm not sure what the exact diameter of the screw is. I hear that a lot of these chinese kits come with screws that have weird pitches to the thread..

I'm sure somebody here will know, if you post your engine and carb model.

As a last resort you can always buy a new carb from your distributor (about $50) and have spare parts (always good :D)
 
Its M4 x 20, round off the end and add a tension spring

And take some thin wire. fold in half, slip over screw and twist till the length is long enough to twist on something...never loose a screw again. That is how aircraft machine screws are safety wired.

thine82: FYI - Duplicate threads get in the way of people answering questions, as the duplicates often get deleted... It's also very ... maddening ... to spend time answering a question, then find that the question that you just spent time answering, was already answered by someone else in a different forum... &*&%#@!

I've merged the threads together, and moved the combined thread to the MB parts/accessories forum.

PM me and I can mail one to you. I'm a slow shipper so it can take up to a week for me to get off my %^&U*I(& to do it but I've got several spares lying around.
 
thanks for helping with the thread and i am new here... and skyliner i found one laying around in my dads garage and snipped the end off of it to make it fit.. i think it was to a motorcycle or something bigger.. thanks to dad keeping junk parts laying around.. also had to fix my muffler again.. i need help with keeping it tacked on without having a welder..who knows how to make a silent motor and keep it quiet?
 
Haha 'silent'. These things are.. kinda loud. No way around that, even the quietening solutions out there are mainly for 'muffling' the sound, rather than reducing the pure decibel output.

If you want quiet, go electric.
