What kind of carb is this for?
Most auto parts stores have small brass fasteners... I wouldn't worry about using a brass one though. You should be able to get a set screw in steel, in that size from a local fastener supply shop. I've got quite a few places locally that can get me them.
mcmastercarr.com would also have them.

I have purchased 6, 8, &10 /32 sized set screws from a machine shop supply, but I also race radio controlled nitro buggies and they use 6,8/32 set screws so you might check towerhobbies.com, or acehardwarehobbies.com fro your fastener needs. you are really going to change your fuel curve if you fool with the emulsion circuit. Do you have a dyno, vacuum guage, and EGT?
