that is a good sign that your diaphram is not torn or a bad sign that your slide is sticky, dont worry about that too much right now, you can get to that later. you did not mention fresh fuel? can we assume you've drained all the old stuff out of the tank and carb? i would start this project with fresh load of premium, wether you run it later or not, it wont be a factor as we work through this. the next issue, since you have the carb off, is to get inside, if your phillips screws on top are rounded out, you can use a dremel or hacksaw to cut a slot in each screw so you can use a standard screwdriver, penetrating oil for the threads, and tapping on the end of the screwdwriver, with a hammer, while applying twist, for the impact effect to help break loose the threads, be careful not to twist the slot out. i have had luck using vise grips and a screwdriver simultaniously to get a stuck screw out if there is enough side to the screw head to get a bite. we specifically had a problem with the enrichening valve, recently, that is the three screws on the right side of the carb, being gummed up on our bike. you mentioned the side screws are stripped too, this should be approached similar to the top, except we need to make a phillips fit, hopefully you can take a phillips screwdriver and grind the tip down a little at a time, the concrete floor will often work if you dont have a grinder, so that it fits in the cross better (may also work for top screws), penetrating oil and hammer tapping will hopefully do the job. otherwise drilling and tapping may be the only alternative. if you want to try something before attempting all this, you might add some fuel injector cleaner to your fresh load of premium fuel and see if it wont clean itself, take care to do the math, the bike only holds 2.(something) gallons of gas, most bottles treat 10 gallons. keep us posted on your progress, there is plenty of experienced help here, we were all 17 and learning once.
