Help with wire collar heater harness to Carbs. Pics include

[TrailxRider]

I stipped a screw on the bottom of the carb and while trying to get it off I broke one of the heater housings I believe. The heater spring from the Collar harness spring won't stay in. I use port yamaha for parts but I'm confused how to fix this one heater. Do I need to order an entire new collar harness and one heater assembly? how do you hook it into the gold nut? I guess I know I need to fix this heater and may need a new harness and 1 heater but not sure how this hooks into the carb nut. By the looks of it, its like the heater is molded into the gold nut by a black plastic ring and this is what broke on mine and why the heater spring won't stay into the carb.
Also what kind of screws or bolts can I use instead of the cheap alluminum screws that were used to keep the carb bottom together? I read a post someone made a while ago but cant find it and when I use the search I get a ton of topics not even close to what I put in for it to look for.

Any help is appreciated. Here's pictures of my problem. What do I do now?

I was attemtping to clean the carbs out and all went well except for this one screw which caused another problem. In one of the carbs I cleaned a pilot jet was completely clogged so I'm glad I opened them up to clean. Now I need to fix this heater part and try and get teh stripped screw out. Later I'm going to try a rubberband with screw driver and hopefully that will be enough to get it out.

CArb collar heating harness connects to the gold nut at the bottom of the carb.

carb heater assy that should stay into the gold nut on the carb.

What it should look like connected.

I did that last year trying to unplug the heater. You need part 53, the heater assy. You have to unsrew the old one from the carb and pull out the piece that is broke off in the black female plug.
Then install the new heater in the carb and plug it back in. The spring is actually inside the assembly.

As far as screws, take one and go to the hardware store and get hex head stainless.

The size of the metric socket head cap screws (Allen bolts) is 4mm X 0.7pitch X 10mm long.

thanks man! sounds like an easy fix. I was worried when it broke since this is my first sled I've ever owned and I'm definately learning a lot by the guys here on the site and working on the sled myself.

when I install the new heater do I have to rewire it into the harness by cutting old one and crimping the new heater wires together?

The pilot screw is the one on the bottom of the carb after you put it back together. (1 for each carb...4 total) It will be the only one you see. Turn it in till lightly seated, then out 2 turns.

You have to sync the carbs when you get everything done.

Take a pair of pliers and pull the brass part out of the little black plug. It is a female plug, and the part that broke stayed in there. It will plug right in to the new heater assy.

Thanks. In comparison to cleaning the carbs how hard or big of a project is it to sync the carbs? I know I need to buy a special tool to do it. Just wondering if its fraily easy and straight forward or a big deal.
