Idle mixture screw/carb question
10/05/07 at 14:17:32
Is there any way to remove a stripped head idle mixture screw by completely (or even partially) disassembling the carburetor? Or do I just need to keep trying the drill bit and screw extractor approach?
I'm planning on (eventually) taking the carb apart, and if I can get the screw out while I've got it disassembled, it would be nice.
Yet another fine mechanically uneducated question from my fingers to your eyes.

Nope,...you're just gonna' have to get it out, the way it went in. Lots of penetrating oil, ...good luck.

Well, booger. It was worth asking about, though. Thanks.

Try finding a drill it that is made to turn counter-clockwise (Left hand) when it digs in, many times it will wind the fasterner/screw right out. If you can't find one a good machinist can sharpen a regular one that way. I've done myself them for years, have about 90% success rate with ones that are just stuck or bottomed out, no luck with cross threaded ones. Use a variable speed drill on slow as you are working with soft brass and a whoops will cost you a carb. Max
