Bud moved to Texas and quit making the screws, I believe he had health issues.

Yes 8-32 thread, and they were Allen head set screws with the ends turned to match the needle seat angle, if you have access to a lathe you could make your own, the tool could be fashioned from a ball head Allen wrench and a compression spring

Wow thanks for the info
I'm a machinist
I'll make a couple sets no problem
The one in the carb had broke
I guess that tool looks like a extended ball allen wrench
I did know if it had some type of cable on the end to help get in there -like a speedometer cable thanks for the pics they do the trick and I can get going on this thing

There was one version where Bud had cut the end of the Allen ball end wrench, about an 1 1/4" off and reattached it with a stiff compression spring to join the pieces together by just sliding the spring over the two ends so it could flex... but this was his latest tool below

Re: Bud Weaver @ sixpack solutions - 11/14/18 05:46 AM

any luck with making these screws?
Posted By: 440farmer

Re: Bud Weaver @ sixpack solutions - 11/14/18 12:57 PM

Yeah made the screws and tool
ended up makin the tool out of a ball allen wrench and a speedometer cable works fine
I don't have a pic right now but made steel sleeves to go from the seedo cable to the allen wrench and then to a small handle
Im at work now if I can remember ill take a pic and try to post this evening
