The fuel screw on my trx250x is a PITA to adjust and it likes to fall out. For a while, I've used high temperature tape under the carburetor to prevent the screw from rattling out, but I'm just tired of it. I've found a lot of these after market fuel screws for things like CRF150Rs, but I'm not sure it would work for a trx250x (2014). Does anyone know if the aftermarket screw pictured (bottom) would work, or if there is a similar one meant for the trx250x that would work? The original screw is the top one, but I'm sure you all knew that already (it isn't the exact one, but close enough).
It would also be nice to have a screw that you could turn easier than the D-shaped screw+tool. I just don't want to throw more money at the OEM screw if I can get a more accessible, better looking, cheaper, and better to tune with screw.
Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I'll go with the extra washer, loctite, and pre-05 screw. One last thing I'll add is that the o-ring seems to be left behind when the screw, spring, and washer fall out. Should this tell me something about how I should go about fixing it?
