Title: Float bowl drain screws
Post by: wolfheze on November 04, 2017, 12:26:42 PM

In anticipation of getting my 550 up and running after 12 months in it's plastic bag  I am looking  for a set of new drain screws as the originals have some knarley looking slots where they've been undone with a too small a screwdriver. Question is where's the best place to get a set? The only one's on eBay are from the states.

Hi

I bought some float bowl drain screws from NRP carbs, there web site is

www.nrp-carbs.com/shop

They were £4.50 each plus vat, unfortunately they didn't put the part number on the invoice. NRPs phone number is 01618328646

Hope that helps

Hi,

Yes, they did come with the o rings.
 Initially I couldn't find the screws on the web site, so I rang them.  NRP carbs are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable, I first met them at the Bike show at Stafford, and spent ages asking them questions about jet sizes and differing makes etc, very helpful.
