David,

See if a #10 or #8 machine thread works.  It is one of these, but I don't r=
emember which.  I always buy new bolts and lock washers from the hardware s=
tore for carb top covers.  You can buy stainless.  And it doesn't cost as m=
uch.

My friend had metric size bolts holding his carb tops on his TR8.  I suspec=
t that was because a previous owner put them in because they were close in =
size and he just forced them in because they were into aluminum.

What are you referring to for damper 0-rings?  If you are referring to the =
tiny one at the bottom of the dashpot that holds the dashpot oil around the=
 metering needle, then yes that is a standard size o-ring that you can buy.=
  The o-ring around the fuel reservoir plug is standard and can be bought t=
oo.

Subject: [TR] ZS 175 carbs

I worked on the carbs on my 1976 TR6 this weekend, one of the needle adjust=
ments screws moved and I was able to lean the carb I needed for some improv=
ement.  A couple of questions, does anyone know the specs on the screws hol=
ding the top cover to the body of the carb?  Someone (not me - honest) bugg=
ered them up and I had to cut a slot on one to back it out.  I would like t=
o just replace them all.  Moss has them at $1.89 apiece but that seems a bi=
t much.  I had a couple of screws in my loose screw bin that looked correct=
 but did not seem to fully thread into the carb body and I didn't want to f=
orce them and ruin the threads.  Also, if the damper o-rings are a standard=
 size that I can pick up at a local FLAPS instead of ordering them, i would=
 appreciate knowing the specs on those as well.
Thanks

The screws holding the top cover on the carb are M5 0.8 - I measure 12.4 mm l=
ong - M5 0.8 x 12 would work. Having said that, I would (have and will) orde=
r the correct ones. A generic replacement will probably have a Phillips head=
 and will be harder to get     out, without damaging the screw head, than Po=
zidrive on the correct screws.=20
The correct screws are unthreaded at the very top where the lock washer sits=
 - they come with the lock washer in place and that lock washer does not eas=
ily come off.
The fitted washer and the pozidrive head are big advantages IMHO. I=E2=80=99=
ll always buy the correct ones.

Cheers,

The Stag has ZS carbs. Those screws are pozi drive heads. But the screws
don't show that pozi. drive symbol on the head. Standard not metric. Some
of mine were buggered by POs. Trying to remove them with standard Philips
screw driver

If you have standard thread screws holding the dashpot covers on the Strombe=
rg carbs in your Stag - that could explain why they are hard to come out.  ;=
-)

I just pulled one out of a Stag carb and in turns quite easily into an M5 0.=
8 thread checker. Since this came up today, I=E2=80=99ve done the same with T=
R6 carbs, TR7 carbs, TR8 carbs, and some new screws I pulled out of the bag t=
hey came from Moss in. They all have the same part number and they are all M=
5 0.8. Same part number for all CD 175s and the CD 150s on GT6s

I did not know this until it came up today - I=E2=80=99ve always ordered the=
 correct part - after rebuilding hundreds of these carbs, I knew they weren=E2=
=80=99t SAE, but I always figured they were Whitworth or British Standard - o=
r something odd like that - I was as surprised as anybody when they turned e=
asily into an M5 0.8 thread checker.

If you still don=E2=80=99t believe me, I can send pictures.

Now everyone has my curiosity peaked.  10-32 and M5-0.8 are very close in s=
ize
10-32 is slightly smaller.  So if the actual size is M5-0.8, then the 10-32=
 fits easily.
So the actual size on all ZS carbs is M5-0.8.  Interesting.  Just learned s=
omething new!
So are all the other screw threads in a ZS M5 also?

just replace them all.&nbsp; Moss has them at $1.89 apiece but that seems a=
 bit much.&nbsp; I had a couple of screws in my loose
 screw bin that looked correct but did not seem to fully thread into the ca=
rb body and I didn't want to force them and ruin the threads.&nbsp; Also, i=
f the damper o-rings are a standard size that I can pick up at a local FLAP=
S instead of ordering them, i would appreciate
 knowing the specs on those as well.&nbsp; <br>

I realize the original question was about a TR6 but since broad statements
may be interpreted as applying to all ZS 175s -  I'll add that the
aforementioned screws on original TR4 carbs that I have seen were slotted
Fillister Head screws.
