Glad I'm not riding for a few weeks... the pot holes from the snow plows are ridiculous.. Hit a few "unavoidable" ones that made me say "God damn" in the truck.

I've been checking the net for steel replacement float bowl screws for an ex-250 but have come up short, are there any or are we stuck with the brass ones?
if you can get to the screw head... cutting a slit with a dremel will usually make it so you can use a flathead.

That is just a thought... I am not sure exactly what your talking about... but thought I would offer up the suggestion.

Oh yeah, i've already done that. I'm just not trying to reuse these when I put it back together. Since this seemed to be a common problem with these carbs I was shocked to not find any steel replacement kits.
