I stripped the soft brass heads on the 2 small screws that hold down the plate that is connected to the needle jet. Its the plate you have to take off in order to adjust the needle jet.

I cant find them at Service honda, the diagrams are too crappy.

Please help.

Anyone know where to buy these?

A local honda dealer. I'm sure service honda has them to if you could get ahold of them.

It's an M3 screw, I just got done putting all new socket head fasteners in my carb. I would go to an industrial supply warehouse like fastenal.

So I can just go online and order an M3 screw? Or is there something special about it.

I was in service honda, they didn't have them. I would go to a local fastener store with your carb and match up all of the screws with socket head allen machine screws. I wouldn't try and order them if I were you. It only cost me $1.25 to replace all of the screws in the carb.

I have stripped those crappy screws that hold the float bowl on, so I went to ACE hardware and brought the old screws. Replaced them all with sexy new stainless allen head screws. I'm sure you can do the same with the ones you are talking about. I don't think they are a unique size.

i took the old skrews with me and bought new ones at ace too. i think the ones i bought were a tab bit shorter or longer, i don't remember which. however, they work just fine. you can use your stock one to find a metric washer at the local parts store that fits on. then find a skrew of similar size that skrews onto that same washer.
