Will I Ever Get This on the Road?

This is a pretty good forum.

On the old Yamahas we'd run the pump with the cable disconnected and a premix.

It eliminates the lack of lubrication on decel and also any guess work on the pump cable adjustment.

It does assume a working pump.

I've been contemplating doing that, but the only thing is if I want to run this around as a commuter, it would be better with a working pump so if absolutely necessary I could fill on pump gas.  That is really the only reason I even want the pump.

Ive got the carb done, and everything fuel-wise back together.  Hit a snag though, my petcock is leaking, and the screws (you know, those really soft ones they use) have the heads stripped enough that I can't tighten for a proper seal.  Anyone know where to find tiny, metric fine threaded screws?  I've already been to the local hardware places with no luck.

Fastenal?

[stonemaster]

you might either JB weld it or cut a slot for a flat head, I've have had both methods work

[the_Journeyman]

Fastenal?

I'll look into them, we've got one close by. 

In other news, even after the leak issue, for shits and giggles, I kicked it over three times, and it ning, ninged to life! 

Progress.  Leak, then electrics.

McMaster Carr, if Fastenal can't help.

[the_Journeyman]

I don't have a McMaster locally.  Fastenal was no help.  Local bike dealer was no help.  Probably didn't help that the bike was twice the age of the guy I showed what I needed...

A kindly machinist?

A kindly machinist?

yea have em made for ya, had to do that a couple of times as well

[the_Journeyman]

Not much industry here, I can't even find a machinist locally.  I can however get a complete petcock replacement off of eBay for $20.  I may just do that.

What size screw do you need?

I've had good luck and fast service from http://mdmetric.com

They encourage you to call and discuss what you are looking for and will even help with very small orders.

My local fastenal store is a waste of time. It seems to be is oriented to the commercial and building trades.

Edit: Speeddog posted while I was typing. Odds are he can help you faster.

If the Zook is anything like Honda it's most likely a 5x.08...dunno how long.
