The air screw in Keihin carbs on a TBS [I assume the same as on Legend and later model TB], are they common to other brands. I've lost one and it's a 4-6 week wait for my Triumph dealer to get one from England, nil in stock in Australia. I know Yamaha and others used Keihins, I want to go to a wreckers and get one just to get going. I've ordered the new one, but ????? need to get up and running now.

My Kawa ZR750 uses virtually identical carbs. I am as sure as i can be (without checking) that the screws would be interchangeable.

Pull an air screw (it should have a tapered end) from one of the other carbs and bring it to your local bike shop. I'm sure they can match it up.
