This is great! Was thinking I need pretty much a perfect fit for the butterfly screws. Hadn't thought of a T handle but that's a good idea & will work for lots of other stuff so I'll see if I can get one. Thanks again!
Yes, it's the idle mixture screw. It's about 3 turns out to start with iirc.
Partzilla has pilot screw set that includes the screw, spring, washer and o-ring that I think is a pretty good deal.

I'd have to go back and look, but yeah... I believe it's the equivalent of Loctite's 242. Don't recall who bought who, but Loctite and Permatex are the same company now so most likely the same product.@Jim , 242?
BTW, maybe someone can help me understand how this forum works. When I log on after a couple of days inactivity I try to find my posts and it says No Conversations & No Threads. Maybe I'm dense but it seems like if I make a post that'd qualify as a thread or a conversation. WTF!!!
Thanks Jim! Guess I need to search threads on electric start issues. Still hoping to get this bike running...Easiest way I know.... click on your avatar and you'll get a pop-up.

What my previous pics don't show is the small amount of white lithium grease I put around the button where it passes through the housing, but you can see it here in the "finished" pic .....
Inside the housing, I use a couple different greases. Metal to metal moving parts get a regular grease (I use Kendall Super Blu) and metal to plastic or plastic to plastic moving parts get white lithium grease .....
