Amal carb bowl screws are hex-head, like little bolts, with enough room to get a little socket around them - I think they are 7mm heads. They also have a slot for using with a flat screwdriver. Best bowl screws I've seen so far.
Amal slide is like a dirt bike -- needle has grooves held by an e-clip, under spring pressure. Pull the slide out and it all comes apart easily. No d@mn screws to strip out or install a-waaaaay down in there.
Now those little pesky screws in the slide of the stock Savage carb...I'd like to find the guy that designed that and work him over with some fuel hose...
Back in college, I was a car stereo installer for a while. I punched so many holes in speakers using phillips drivers, I've become an expert at piercing nearly anything with a blunt tool. I'm careful now, but I used to really mess things up.
