      Yup definitely condenser screws I would say originally. Or as stated, the screws that hold the brass guides for the throttle tower to the powerhead.

        What Chris says times two.

        These screws with locks are only used in the electrical system. The two screws holding the silencer on have flat washers.

          quote FrankR:

          Sure do look like condenser screws. Or from the clamps & stuff on the bottom of the mag plate. But you didn’t indicate you were into the magneto. Or were you?

          I’ll bet they are condenser screws. Now that I think of it, I robbed parts from another mag plate when I tuned up this motor. Guessing these are the second set of condenser screws from the other plate.
          Thanks to everyone for your sleuthing!

            I’ll bet they were laying in wait on the bottom of the pan, or nestled in the nooks and crannies of the power head, from a previous ignition repair. Sure looks like that’s where they came from. Odd that there were two, though. I usually only loose one LOL.
