Sorry, I don't remember what size. Take one of the screws down to Home Depot, Lowes, or your favorite fastener source and just match them up.
(That's what I did.)

I don't know about other parts of the country but I have at least 5 Home Depots w/i an hour of my house - 4 between my office and my house.  None of them have a fastener selection worth poo.  I'd save the frustration and go to a local harware store.  (sorry - I had to rant.)

LOL... I did have to go to two Home Depots to get enough screws. One store had enough for 3 carbs and I cleaned out the other stores supply just getting #4.
Both were on my commute, but that's almost 50 miles one way.
There is a fastener specialty store just down the street from the Home Despot closest to work, but their prices were quite a bit higher.

I thought Dales kits came with allen screws now... at least the B12 kits now do.
