12-28 isn't an unusual size. It's a downright weird one. Are you
sure you measured correctly? If you have, I'd try two things. find
a carb in a junkyard. Got a fastener supply place around, locally?
They might be able to sell you one, if only out of pity. (Fastenal
does list 23249, 12-28 1 1/4, socket head cap screw, $.98 per; I
don't deal with them so I don't know if they've got a min. order or
not)
Failing those, you could do something visicious like re-tapping the
hole for a sane screw. Or maybe there's a metric (or BA!) screw size
that's really close?
