The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Carb Rochester B throttle plate?

I pulled the carb off my 54 235 engine to rebuild it and one throttle plate screw was previously twisted off and the other was loose. So I gently tried to tighten the remaining screw and it twisted off too. I got one screw out but couldn't get the other out. Pretty small. Think it could be drilled out? Didn't know if these screws were even available . Maybe someone has an extra base laying around. Any suggestions?

I found some screws on internet, so I may try drilling it out. Anyone happen to know what size these screws are?

6x32

Small brass screw from your local hardware store, 6x32 like Jon mentioned. Also when trying to remove them, drill from the head side of the screw so you don't have to mess with the back side thats been peened over. Most of the time they screw right out. A little heat might also help, and key word is LITTLE!

My model b carb didn't have 6-32 screws in the throttle plate. They were smaller than that. I was able to find some 6-32 screws at the hardware and drill them out so it worked out. Got the carb kit put in and all back together.
