So I understand, but I am told I would have to order the whole carb set up. Ouch. Might try another dealer.

Which I just did and Bingo. Two ordered.

Grahams were only able to talk about whole twin carb setups at one hell of a price.

I have ruined the head of several carb drain screws. Until I realized: You can't use bits, normal short bits, to work the screw.
There is not enough room to the side for the very holder of the bit. And that places the bit slightly of centre, which makes it slip and starts to grind down the head of the screw. Use longer bits or a normal screwdriver.
