'87 600F - After 23yrs of everyone's tinkering, the pilot screws heads have been completely distroyed. They can no longer be adjusted with the carb rack on the bike. Time for a new or at least a serviceable set.
Somewhere in my previous searches there was a website that had them for like $12.88 each and as an "assembly" complete with pilot screw, spring, washer and gasket. Shipping from them was mentioned as like $8.
Asking for suggestions for the best, current (Jan, 2011) source for 4 replacement pilot screws. Used, screws only is fine if cheap but new complete assemblies fine too if an overall better value.
Anybody make a better design aftermarket replacement screw for the early 600F that doesn't require the "D" adjustimng tool or the Dremel slot technique?
Also, didn't they change out of the stupid "D" screwdriver adjusting tool after the 600F? Sure would be easier to replace early originals with what I thought were improved head designs for later models... provided that they are the same screw but just an improved usable slotted/phillips head design of course. I'm dreaming right?
