It's 5mm dia. The pitch I'm not absolutely sure of, but it's the same as a standard 5mm screw. .8mm pitch?

All medium/big block Saitos use the same breather thread.

For the life of me, I don't understand why we didn't go metric in the early 1970s like we were supposed to. We were learning the system in high school. The whole civilized word did it. The United States, Liberia and Myanmar still use Imperial unit of measure, that's it.

Need a metric bolt? 5 x the price of the Imperial crap IF you can find one..

Any well stocked LHS should have small metric taps/drills.

I have found more than one Drill &Tap sets on line, but they don't tell the pitch or threads, and I know my luck

Yes sir I see, I'm glad he's fixing you up.

PS, I've been a customer of Micro Fasteners for at least 25 years, maybe more.

Toledo bound Thursday night. There is usually one or two vendors selling micro tools for the hobby there. Maybe I will come across the elusive FA-115.

Don't know what drugs your computer is on, but mine opens to a 13 page PDF, last page has the tap thread pitches, and there is only one for the 5mm tap. Unlike SAE, metric pretty much sticks to single pitches, where there could be fine and coarse pitch threads for small taps. 10-32, 10-24, etc.

LOL here's what I got on page 13 LOL,,, computers

STARTING The FS-120S3 is not fitted with manual choke controls, as they are intended for use with an electric starter only. A high-torque electric starter not only makes starting the engine much easier, it dispenses with the need for a choke valve by turning the engine over fast enough to cause the fuel pump to prime the cylinder automatically. Starting procedure is as follows:
Check that the current to the glowplug is switched off. Check that the polarity of the starter battery leads rotates the engine counter-clockwise when viewed from the front. Open the needle-valve 3-3.5 turns from the fully closed position and temporarily set the throttle in the fully open
