Default TPS screw sizing

The adjustment screws on the top and bottom of the tps, i need to know what size and thead pitch, length ect of these screws... i tried adjusting the tps tonight and the screws were so old and never been touched before they are extremely hard to move and also they are now stripped..

im sure i can get them off but i definitely done want them going in. thanks

can u take off at least 1 of them...heres a trick

take a hammer and a phillips. put the philips on the striped screw with the hammer hit the screw driver. this leaves an imprent on the screw...now its not as stripped...and try to take it off again

this saved me countless times
