Hello everyone. ive been roaming this site for months which led me up to buying a 78 xs650 special. Now my problem is when i bought the bike it didnt idle very well, and the left side was popping. So for a bike that has been sitting for 15years the first thing i did was rip apart the carbs and clean replace with parts i had laying around

. Now its back together and i didnt notice at first but i am missing the middle sync screw?idle screw. Below ive included a pic of the missing screw. Im guessing i need this screw to sync the carbs correct? Ive read elsewhere that it is a m5x1.00 yea right. This screw is impossible to find. I went to 8 stores, 3 Ace hardware, Lowes, Runnings, Napa, Autozone. Also checked Mikesxs.com, nothing. Please somebody help and point me in the right direction.

me, try bolt & nut depot. They got everything you could want, and very reasonable. You'll also need a spring like on the other idle screw. BTW, the screw's are both the same size, & it is a 5mm.
