Those screws in the carb are not good quality. Soft crappy stuff that looks like metal & sticks to a magnet, tho Im sure its just silly-putty with some metal filings in it. SO, Have the right tools. Maybe Digger will drop in & explain it, maybe Ill get it right? Dont bet on it. Yall keep me straight here.. The screwdriver tip looks like a Phillips, but is called a JIS. If there is a dot on the head of the screw, near the X, then its JIS. A hand held impact ( About $5.00 at Harbor Freight) will drive the screwdriver firmly into the head of the screw & give it a twist & break it loose. Suggest you replace the screws with Allen heads, stainless steel. Use Never Seize going back together. If you go for the Supertrapp, be sure to clean it very well, or the manufacturing oils will make it turn blue & the warranty wont cover that. Also, dont skimp on the High Heat Never Seize when the disks go in, or changing the number will be hell. Dont ask me how I know.
All these things are easy, technically. Tools & patience is really all thats required. The people here can & will talk you thru it. Youll grow as a mechanic & youll see your bike in a whole new light. You will feel different about yourself, as you develop a new skill set. This bike is easily capable of running 80 & pull strong getting there. You do these things & youll love the ride.
