Not wishing to make matters worse, but make sure the missing screw hasn't dropped down into one of the carbs if you've had the filter out

BEFORE YOU START IT UP

im missing all of em. i took them out and put them in a jar, which has vanished off the face of the earth. which means i have nothing to match them up to when purchasing new 1's

Err!
believe it or not, the Honda original ones are quite cheep.
I'd dropped a couple on the garage floor, kicked em when I bent over to pick em up and never saw them again so I've had to replace a couple

On the bright side

as soon as you buy new ones you WILL find the others,

Always happens to me like that

My mistake (must take more notice of what's been written) but actually that's better in the sense they won't have dropped into the carb's being in a jam jar

They are very big carbs

That should make it much easier to retrieve the screws

I would think halfords will have these, they look like self tapping trim type screws.
