I got one of me balls out

Not one of them balls!!! 😁

I am planning to remove the brass balls from my carbs tomorrow so had a practice run on an old 250 carb. When I measured it it is 4.5 mm. Is this right because I thought they were 5mm?

Or are they smaller in 250 carbs?

Undecided as yet whether I will replace with new ones or grub screws. Am I right in thinking if I use grub screws I will need M5 ones?

Thinking of using them so is easier to remove in the future.
Need to know what size to order tho.

Cheers

Balls are 4.5mm. If you put in a grub screw instead tap it out to suit M5.
