Float bowl screws

[Crewchief47]

SledToyz.com has decided to add Socket Head Cap Screws (Allen head) to the product line up after a trip to the local Lowes suggested they wanted $1.50 ish for 2 of these suckers. So I've ordered some screws and will hopefully get them by the end of the week. Pricing is on the site, I should be able to vacuum pack them and the shipping inside Canada via lettermail will be around $2.00

I realize this won't be for everyone, but not all of us Canadians have access to hardware stores that carry these screws at a reasonable cost.

Good idea. Those philp screws are junk. Couple yrs ago I did the same, put allen screws in the bowls. Have you found any screws that would work for the carb caps?

 

[Crewchief47]

I'll have to take a look at those as well, thanks!

Yup the allen head screws for the bwls is a much much better way to go. I change the the carb clamps to allen heads as well instead of pissing around with phillips.

From the Sledtoyz website:
These replace the float bowl screws on your Yamaha snowmobile with easy to remove Socket head Cap screws (Allen head). In varying quantities depending on whether you have a twin, triple, 4 stroke or multiple of each. Includes a couple extra, just in case you lose one or two.

count numbers as follows:
10 (twins with 2 extra screws)= $2.50
14 (triples with 2 extra screws)= $3.50
20 (two Twins + extras) = $4.60
28 (Two triples +extras) = $6.44
50 because you like screws = $10.00

the shipping on these SHOULD be around $2.00 in Canada and $3.50 to USA but I have to confirm weights. The shipping would be Lettermail to both and you would have to anticipate the related delays due to that. I based the quantities for the smokers since the seem to be into the carbs more frequently. Obviously the RX1's will need 16 each.

I'll have to poke around on this a little more, those are 'interesting' screws.

There very odd screws on the carb caps. Likely been 2 yrs or since had the float bowl allen screws out, they broke loose like nothing with an allen wrench. The carb caps was a fight, thought was going to break something. Finally got them to loosen off, phillps screws suck!. Good to hear that your still looking, thanks.

This is a great idea! I did this to my SX years ago. Also just replaced some of the bolts in my M10 with socket heads. Thanks Mr. Sled.

Crewchief47, My screws just arived today and I have enough to share, just in time to because I took the carbs off the Warrior to add the K&N's and had to take the dremil to one of the screws to slot it and it is now a flat head screw. This will save alot of headaches going forward. Thank You!

Cool! So about 8 days to Maine. Not too bad I guess, considering the border.
