If you have4 enough fire to be a serious threat to things, you have a serious enough issue that NOT rejetting will do more damage than you can do by goofing up trying. About the worse you can manage by rejetting is get it too rich or leave it toolean, But, it will be closer than it is now. Have ya got a GOOD phillips screwdriver, #2 head? Cuz ya gonna need it. If you have a friend who can help hold the carb & you can grab your screwdriver with pliers & hold it very, very tight into the head of the screw & give it a quick twist you miught just snap those too tight & dry screws right on out. Popping the screwdriver a few times with something, driving it into the screw will tend to shock it & get it ready to come out, may even be worth the trouble of trying to get a penetrating oil in it first. IF you do booger a head, you can use a small punch & light hammer & drive the meat back where it came from, do it slowly, several light taps are better than one Bigggun. An impact driver can be very helpful. I used antisieze when I went back together. There is a pretty good chance you wont nail it on the first pass. It's a trial & error thing, with some general guidelines to get started. It's important to be careful to not let the screwdriver messup the jet & make it hard to get out, be careful & take your time. It's really not technically difficult. Pay attention, place parts in a logical order to make going back together less of a puzzle. Not the plate in the bottom of the slide has a dimple & that it points down, else the holes don't line up well at all. ( Dont ask,, Okay?) A magnetic screwdriver is pretty handy. I can't remember if those little screws in the base of the slide are #0, #1 or #2 phillips, but a magnetic screwdriver with interchangeable bits will come with all 3. Looking at how it sits in the screw & how it fills the slot will tell you if you have the right one. Look at how the #2 fits the bigger screws & then you will know how it needs to fit the smaller ones,, flashlight, maybe? Clean, clean, clean, no fingerprints on the slide. Watch the tab on the diaphragm, it will show how the slide is oriented.
