Air Fuel Adjustment Screw Replacement

Hey there everyone, long time reader, first time poster.

I've got a 1981 KZ550 LTD, with the TK Carbs. To keep a long story short, I recently snapped off the head of one of my Air/Fuel adjustment screws (I was being gentle!). After many a heart attack I managed to get that bastard out without ruining any of the threads, but unfortunately finding a replacement has been super difficult.

I finally found a website (Kawasakipartshouse.com) that purported to have it, but they wanted $15 to ship it! After looking around everywhere for some other place that might have it with little success, I decided to just eat the shipping cost and order it from them.

...Unfortunately, I just got an email from them saying that the part has been discontinued and they don't have any. So, my friends, I come to you on bended knee. Do you know where I can get an Air/Fuel adjustment screw (and accompanying washer, if at all possible) for a 1981 KZ550 LTD (part #16014-1024)? It's the last piece of my puzzle.

It looks like that kit might have the part, albeit with $30 worth of other stuff that I don't particularly want. As a last resort I'll keep that bookmarked, but if anyone could find me one all by itself (maybe from a parts bike?) I'd be super grateful.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

apbling: PM answered :)

Motor Head: Thanks for the effort, but that one's slightly different from the one I've got:



The grey part is an easy-out.
