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?

Cheers /Richard

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.

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

Thanks for the heads-up...should I mention that this is a EU model, import from Germany? Would that make any difference/sense?

Maybe a little penetrating oil also wouldn't hurt before ya try that.

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.
