Does aneone know what size the float bowl screws are? I have the hex head ones from Brent , but 2 are too short to hold the idle adjuster. The holes are stripping with the idle adjuster attached I would just like to get a couple that are a little longer.

Using the right screws? If I remember right (long time ago), the set included long ones for the bowls and short ones for the tops.

Yes the set only included the long ones for the float bowls, but they are not realy long enough for the 2 that hold the idle adjuster

Just an idea, I had a wallered out phillips head, I ran up to Ace Hardware and found a self tapping screw with a thread diameter and count that almost matched exactly. Went in good and tight.
