K341 air cleaner screws

Recommended Posts

I got a Chinese carb for my K341 and the air cleaner screws won't fit.   I suppose I can re-tap the holes.

They're likely tapped metric.

You could bring the carb to the hardware store and get some correct fasteners.

Good lesson for anyone considering the purchase is a Chinese carburetor. Always look for one that advertises SAE (American) threads and correct choke. Not only are the screws metric on most imports, but so is the inlet for the fuel. Many have the choke lever backwards as well.

Just put one on a K91 and it used Paul's 4 mm screws but oddly enough it was !/8" npt for the fuel inlet. It runs the motor great tho.

I got some M4-8 screws and they are too small.

 :text-yeahthat:Unless you are like me and mounted & plumbed the carb already!

 

Try standard  threads as Bob said some may be standard. Don't forget backing & lock washers don't want one of those screws coming loose and (try to) go thru the motor!

The screws were 5mm, all I found were too long so I will grind them down to fit.
