i don't remember, i took mine to the hardware store and matched them up, and the only thing that would fit was the hex key type.

did you strip the head on a couple like i did?

I didnt strip them. I replaced the carb screws with allen bolts a few weeks ago. I was asking because I needed bolts for the gas cap and I knew the float screws had the same threads.....but I was at work without a sample screw so I took a stab at it and got it right! M5 is the size.

Thanks tho! :tks:

you are lucky none of my local hardware stores have any allen head bolts that would fit my gas tank ring
