Default KOUBA will not sell me their t-screw

I tried to buy this screw from them, they won't sell unless you place a minimum order of like $25. I even asked if they'd just take a paypal payment and send me the screw and they wouldn't do that. Where is everyone getting this screw and are their alternatives? I can't believe a company just starting out as they are are turning down a sale. If I were you, I'd blackball them simply for their greed.[:@]

That sucks! I bought mine at Creative Cycle Products (http://www.cas4.com/Carburetors-Inta...ance-kits.html) but of course it was over $25.

Keihin CV idle mixture needle
Have you ever lost an idle mixture needle from your CV Keihin? The idle screw is not available and is a pain to adjust. Not anymore! The needle is now available and has a knurled **** on the end to make adjusting a snap! CCP had the OEM needle electronically scanned to accurately determine the shape of the tip and modified it slightly to improve it.In testing, Dyno Jet found it had much higher linearity in adjustment of the mixture. No more trying to get a screw driver in a blind hole. Just reach in and turn the ****.

I think Bill Blue also sells them but might be for the FCR carb only.

Bill sells them for the TM33 pumper...
Come on Travis - just bite the bullet and buy a TM36-68...

Re: your original post... Yes, they are stupid to run the business like that.
Just try to find another guy on the forumand buy two of them!

I am a new KLX owner and need one of these. I'd be happy to go in with you. In fact, if you want I'll place the order and you can buy the extra from me. It's up to you. I assume you and I need the same screw (I have an '06 with the stock carb.)

as much as I hate to patronize them now, I'll go in with you. tell me where to send the payment (paypal) and for how much. I think they sell them for around $15 each and shipping can't be hardly anything. thx

When push comes to shove and money's tight using the buddy system can come in handy can't it?

Nope, I ponied up the $25 duckets without posting a thread to whine about it.
