'95 900 Carb Issues, or God wants me to buy FCRs

DesmoTull · 03-28-2008, 10:50 AM

Hey all,

I have a bit of an SOS call that I need to get out to all of you. Over the winter I bought a great 900SS/SP project bike. The job has been going swimmingly. I replaced some head studs, cleaned everything up, and she's ready to run.... almost.

I've been having alot of trouble with the Mikuni carbs. One of the floats is either sticking, or not seating properly, but that's not the big problem. There is a small screw that is holding the main jet with a spacer (M5-.8 x 5). This screw also has a blind hole on it all the way up to the head. This screw sheared off at the head, and I desperately need a replacement. I ordered an $80 assembly from my local Ducati shop, and the screw was not included.

I'm supposed to be leaving from Massachusetts to head down to VIR on the 5th of April.

Is there any Ducatisti out there that could help me out??

Is it just a machine screw?
