Star Head Screw?

Referred to as part #82 in the RS36 Mikuni exploded view image. Anyone know what specific bit is needed to properly fit that screw head?

Pic isn't clear but most likely Security Torx.
Can't remember the specific size but I bought a bit set off ebay for the same purpose.
They were only couple of quid and had about eight or ten sizes with either a 6mm or 8mm shank that fits most bit drivers or 1/4 drive socket.

Okay, it's not just me then; I couldn't see any detail in that picture. :-)

I picked up a set of "security bits" at Harbor Freight. (Their name for them, though some are just Torx, etc.) There were 100 bits in a case for about $8 on sale. The quality might not be great but they should hold up to working on carbs.
