Hello me again, well after a engine rebuild over the winter due to a stretched timing chain and a broken piston ring, I am back at playing with the bike. Well the thing runs pretty good but still has a little bit of an issue with the fuel I believe. I took the carbs apart before installing them back on the bike and found that one of the pilot jets was kind a plugged so I cleaned it out good. After riding the bike around I noticed that it likes to stumble a little bit off of a stop. It idles great, it pulls hard at WOT, but it just has a stumble between the two. So when the bike was idling I played with the L carb pilot screw and it changed how the bike was idling, but when I messed with the R one the bike did not respond. I do know that the pilot screw on the R carb is bent up some at the tip, but I can not find new screws. So I am wondering if I could get a xs 400 carb and throw that on there, maybe changing the jets between the two carbs. If not, where could I get some new screws at? I have been watching ebay religiously and really never see 360 carbs on there, and when I do they are usually missing these screws. By the way the bike is a 77 xs360

Hello Joe4,, You might try www.metricpartsdirect.com They were previously Yamaha Parts Direct, but Yamaha didn't like that so they changed their handle. They have a very good parts listing for the XS360. I had bought several items from them trying to get my XS3602D back to original. Thanks to all the great people on this forum !!..

Hope this helps..Harv.. p.s. postage is a bummer nowdays..

Thanks Harv, I looked on the site and found the part I need, but they do not show the item number below the picture. Every where else I have looked has said the part is discontinued. Thanks again though.
