Hi all-
Today I cleaned my K&N air filter (Holy crap what PAIN!!!) and noticed I am missing a screw.
The screw was on the bar that goes across the carburetters for the choke.
I am searching now for a part number but I really have to ask if an OEM is required or if I can go to Fastenal and pick up an equivalent.
Opinions?
A screw is a screw as long as it fits and tightens up it doesn't matter where it comes from.

I second the motion, that a screw is a screw as long as it fits and tightens up; at least in this application, where it's not a torque specific safety item.

I would suggest just going to a hardware store and matching it up.
+1 on the hardware store. I'm sure you can find that screw.

On the carburetor drawing it was part # 12 and 15...
Thank for the advice everyone..
I generally agree with the Screw is a screw thought, however, IF it is the screw that retains the slide bar, then I THINK is has a special shoulder on the screw (I may be wrong).. You will need to pull another one to take down to the hardware store, so take a look and see if there is something special about it.. IF not, then off to the hardware store you should go.
Well I broke down and ordered 2x the screws and washers. $15 for four parts shipped. Glad I didn't need one of the >$1k items on that parts list. :D
Ok, I rex'ed the parts..
I ordered 2x the screws and what I rx'ed does NOT have a collar / neck / shoulder.. It is a regular screw with a wide head.
I went back to the diagram and looking closer I can not tell if it is straight threaded or collared as I originally "thought".
Any suggestions / examples / pictures?
IRC the screws that hold down the snorkel do not have shoulders on them
You could make a bushing.
I'm glad I bought two screws and washers... :-P The first attempt at putting the screw in ended in the screw and washer falling into cracks on the engine. Hopefully they will bounce out next time I ride. The second attempt went flawlessly. Yes I did it the lazy way and didn't remove the tank or the carbs so I deserved to loose the first screw / washer...
