It's for an 88 Kawasaki Ninja 600. The two little copper screws that hold in the butterfly are stripped out. I can't find new ones. I've checked online microfiche and no luck. Any ideas?

Lots of motorcycle shops have boxes of junk carburetors. If they have them, they'll sell 'em. I don't think you'll find them in regular stores (3-4mm is kind of small).
If all else fails, get them from a motorcycle salvage yard.
Do a web search for "motorcycle salvage"
They ship to anywhere.

Go to an Ace or True value hardware store. I've gotten metric carb. screws from them. I changed all the Phillips to allen. They had them. As a second option get an appropriate tap( Probably 4/40) thread the butterfly for 4/40 and get the appropriate length 4/40 screws.

Copper? Brass, maybe. You can get brass or stainless at your local hardware store (if they're any good). Home Depot probably won't have any that small, but you never know. Radio Shack, believe it or not, usually has a selection of small screws. Retap the holes in the shaft, and use a tiny drop of loctite on the new screws.
