Title: Replacing Air Mixture Screw?
Post by Fish on 10/18/11 at 07:19:49
The previous owner made my philips head air mixture screw look like an hourglass head. I can still turn it in and out for now. But once I replace my exhaust and rejett I'm going to be tuning the carb and messing with the air screw. I certainly don't want to reach a point where I can't move the screw any longer.

Will I just keep turning it counter clockwise until it comes out?

EDIT:
I just answered part of my own question by taking 1 minute to look on Ron Ayers.

It would be very handy if there was a screw that fit that stuck out and had a knurled head.

Derp. Yeah, I meant flathead, not phillips. I definitely know the difference but sometimes end up calling a slotted a phillips.

True, I suppose I could take some material out of the middle and make it one straight slot again. I'd just need to use a thicker slotted screwdriver than normal, not a problem there.

Good idea Justin. Now I need a tiny file to do this though.

If theres sufficient material left out at the ends of the Hourglass you can drive it back into the slot & make the slot thinner again. Doesnt take much torque to turn it,,so, its not a big deal really,
