luvmy40 Posted February 10, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2018 Is anyone aware of a screw upgrade kit for the Venture carbs? Preferably SS but socket head for sure. I could just take all the screws and get them matched, but I thought I'd ask if there was a package deal available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimmer Posted February 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 11, 2018 Not sure of any kit but take one of the screws you want to replace to your local hardware store and they should have a stainless screw that will work for you. That is what I did for my carbs. Hope that helps. Rick F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoarizona Posted February 12, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 12, 2018 same here but i am thinking there different lengths.... I just went through my 1st Gen carbs this afternoon and all screws were same length. Of course, they were not original... Not on an 89. But the security screws were there, one per carb. I kept them in. But did replace the rest. 4 screws gave me grief turning a 30 minute job into an all afternoon affair! Everything looked good.

Everything looked good. I have to ask, WHY did you keep the security screws in there? Those are one of the main reasons people get new screws??? Or am I just old and not interpreting this correctly?

Or am I just old and not interpreting this correctly? Rats! I was afraid someone would ask that question. No Jeff, you read it right. I did leave the security screws in...for a really good reason. A dumb reason. You see, when I went to the store and bought the new hex screws, I counted how many I would need....and got that amount. Came back home and put the screws in a little jar and labelled them for whenever I got around to using them on the carbs. Well...I bought 12. DUH. And that's why the security screws are back on. Sigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
