Wanna save some dollars and make your own high speed and low speed carb adjustment screws?? Here's how:
Find someone who owns a drill press with a vise attachment. Like this:
I found these "spring pins" (I call them roll pins) in the size I wanted to use. Size is 1/16" diameter x 3/4" long
Find a way to clamp the carb screw in the vise without damaging it. On my GP1200 carbs, I was able to clamp against a built in washer head on the screw. I only caused a little minor washer distortion which isn't gonna cause any problem or interferance. Level the screw, line up the drill bit(1/16" in my case) and secure down the press table and vise so it won't move. (sorry no pics.) And while the screws are still in the vise, (or a workbench vise if you need more room to access things.), hammer in the roll pins with a hammer.
I did that to all 6 low and high speed screws and here's what they look like:
