Take um to dinner!
Just takes solid pressure with a new phillips bit - when your at the ace look at the phillips bits - there are some with groves that hold pretty well - on the '02 I used the cordless dewalt

for those extra tight phillips screws, try dipping screw driver tip in just a little valve grinding compound, really helps screw driver tip bite those screw heads.(find that tip in the manual)

Thanks- ace is the place , will stop by manana. Say, the screws didn't budge on first try- are they installed by Sumo wrestlers? I blasted them with liquid wrench, tomorrow morning will see if they are any more compliant. Reminds me of some first dates when I was a pup.
I did the old trick of putting the phillips screwdriver into the screw firmly and giving it a tap with a hammer. It seems to unfreeze bound threads sometimes. If I'd had the carb off the bike, I would have used the impact driver.

I just went in there with a screwdriver and stripped a couple heads, why do it the easy way when you can get all frustrated and throw tools all over the garage

well- so far it has been special, the wall mounted tv I installed actually stayed in place, my attempted switch from dial up to cable - nope, 2 tries at the screws, nope, the three window replacement i bought, too short and non refundable.. another day another flying tool. Like you, Ed_L, I do tend to project my frustration thru flying tools.
May have to hang a dart board in the garage if this continues..tomorrow is another day. Have a great one everyone.

vise grips to the rescue..carb is apart. In replacing the white spacer, does it have to be a plastic spacer? For those of us (like me) who are toolistically challanged, how did you hold the spacer to grind it down?? Hopefully I'll have it all back together before i hit the big 60 later this month.
Thanks again to all who have helped.

I pressed mine onto a piece of sandpaper with my fingertip & just scrubbed it around & measured it a few times. I liked it better than using the #4 washers, which tended to drag the sides some, though some don't have that problem.

put the sand paper - about a 120 or so - on a board so you end up with flat white spacer and work it around with your finger tip - mic it as it starts to shrink - or if you use the washers, get a long machine screw/bolt and nut that the washers will fit on - washers on the bolt nut on next to hold them tight - bolt in the drill and turn them babies down against the concret floor or a brick or what ever till they fit and slide smooth in the carb.

I did exactly the same. Fine sandpaper and I measured a few times with a cheap micrometer. I prefer the original white spacer to metal washers too.

well, the spacer has lost @half its weight/bulk. Brought it to the hospital I work at, and was talking with the folks there, They suggested drilling a hole in block of hard wood, the depth I wanted to keep- then filing off the unwanted portion. I said, I don't have a drill press, they said-"we do..wait ten minutes.." The carb is now reassembled (Hopefully correctly- will test tomorrow.)
ThANKS FOR YOUR TIPS-as I had looked at using the grinding wheel but couldn't figure out how to get a flat surface or 2)how to hold so small an object. The idea of drilling a hole the depth I wanted of the same diameter- wouldn't have crossed my mind for heaven knows how long. Will keep it in my ever growing tips for mechanic's file

hit 28 degrees far this weekend. Bike started with a little trouble, ran strong through half throtle, then no noticable change last half throttle to wide open..I suspect I din't reassemble the card correctly.
Can't wait for some warmer weather to get this sorted out. Have a great week folks.

If you can't get them from the top, you must drill them out from the bottom. Be carefull with the needle jet, it really gets in the way while you are drilling. My drill chuck deformed my needle jet. I had to get a new one.
