Hi, I am cleaning my carbs and changing the screws from JIS to Allens (as per 5Twins thread on this).
My understanding is that JIS and Allens have the same thread and pitch, however, when I screw my Allens in the carb body they go so far then tighten up to stop.
I am not keen on breaking through this as it does not feel right? The original JIS seems to travel through without any problem.
I have tested on all holes and both carbs. All the same. (This is the M4 x 12/14mm's for the carb float housing).
Any advise would be appreciated, anyone else had similar?
Many thanks...
