Hi Curt,
They are actually 10-32. Just went downstairs and threaded a UNF nut onto one to be absolutely sure. I'm not referring to the dashpot or HS series float lid screws, these are the long ones that go upwards and hold the diaphragm housing/float chamber onto the main body.
SU used BSW, BA, UNF, BSC, BSP and NPS threads on the HD8 carbs.
Andy.

Andy,
Sorry but those are not 10-32 screws on
the carburetor dash pot screws. They are 3/16"
