SCREW, THROTTLE BLADE, MIKUNI, HEXALOBULAR SOCKET, STAINLESS STEEL, 5MM LENGTH. Use T10 driver. Torque to 1 NM (9 in-lbs.). Must be secured by peening the back side or applying a high strength thread locker during installation. For most people peening will not be an option, as does require special tools to do so without bending or otherwise damaging the shaft. Regardless of the method, you must ensure they don’t come out (motolab will not assume any responsibility for damages caused by throttle blade screws that fell out and were ingested by the engine!).
All items are in stock and ship immediately unless the corresponding “Add to cart” button text has changed to "Out of stock”; i.e. if you are able to put the items in the cart and complete checkout, it means that we have the items in stock and will ship them the same (or rarely, next) business day if the order is placed before 13:30 Central Time.
Throttle Blade Stainless Screw, Hexalobular Socket
Not sold separately by Beta. Two required per carburetor. Use 08-0557 T-HANDLE BIT DRIVER with number 2 JIS bit (or equivalent) in order to remove the stock screws. Note: The screws are peened on both sides. You can force them out by just continuing to unscrew once they tighten up again on the far side. Because of the peen on the near side, the bit is likely to want to cam out, stripping the head in the process. This can be mitigated by lightly tapping the bit into the slot before attempting to turn, and using sufficient downward pressure (particularly when breaking the screws loose and when forcing past the far side peen).
