That plug covering the mixture screw...( on carb)
12/08/13 at 08:53:01
..on our bike , it has some kinda slot- not deep enough for a screwdriver, but still a slot. Ar we looking in the correct place? How deep can you drill before you interfere with or screw(!) up the innards?
And if we go metric..what size of drill, and what size of screw....and is a slide hammer required, or will just "yanking" the screw work?

Very little space behind the plug... I wouldn't count on more than 1/8"...
Be gentle, be careful... drill at a very slow rpm...
I've never needed a puller,... the drill bit usually catches it and pulls it out...

There is no slot in the plug. Are you sure it's not already out and you are looking at the screw? The slot in the screw is very shallow and narrow.

If you see a slot, its not the plug,,,That thing is smooth.

Naw. It was untouched by humans, the marks are from yours stupid trying to adjust it. Now...this is the plug that needs a careful shallow drilling? And underneath, there is a mixture screw? Jeez, I gotta love my trusted Amal carbs on the Triumph chop..no hidden features there

those plugs are usually flush.
and I'm seeing a relief around the edge of the "plug"
if you had a left handed drill, now's the time to use it, just in case it is the screw.

I do have a lefty drilling machine....but no left-handed drill bits. Thanks for the heads-up...should I mention that this is a EU model, import from Germany? Would that make any difference/sense?

Take yer screwdriver, stick it in the slot... and give the end of the driver a few little taps (I mean lite little taps) with a hammer... maybe you can break it loose.
Maybe a little penetrating oil also wouldn't hurt before ya try that.

Hm. You both actually think that might be an unplugged mixture screw? Wouldn´t that be a "first ever"? OK, I will tap it carefully tomorrow.

It looks to be too far out to be a screw..... but it could be a non OEM jet screw someone had to use to make the bike run correctly until they got the proper one in.

Wondering..just why would anyone bother to take out the "original" plug & screw, and sub the whole thing with some homebrew stuff?
