The trickiest part of playing around in the carb is the tiny two screws down inside. Strip those and getting to them to fix the boo boo is gonna require magic.
Sadly, Harbor Freight no longer sells the handheld impact with the long skinny screwdriver tip that just fits the dang things great.

Time spent on getting the right fit beats time spent trying to unscrew a screwup.

Justin,

You are absolutely right about those 2 little screws.

I am still using my trust half century old KD Manufacturing 3/8" drive impact driver. I use an adapter to get the small Phillips bit, that I have reground, to rap those buggers loose. The Phillips bit is one of the typical hex shaped bits and it is long enough to reach.

The picture attached does not show the reground Phillips bit as I have misplaced the bit..

I hold the carburetor in my 40 year old Black & Decker Work Mate.

I have found that the American made hard, zinc plated Phillips head screws from ACE Hardware work well. The reason I haven't used SS Allen head screws inside the carburetor is the Allen wrench is so tiny I am afraid of stripping out the head of the screw if it gets stubborn.

Never-Seize is your friend.

If I was opening the bowl of a several years old carburetor and I didn't HAVE to do it Now, I'd dose the bolts with penetrating oil every day for a few days first. I never got my pilot jet out. One side broke off... I decided to run it. It worked out okay.
Pay attention to which side the dimple faces on the plate under the two tiny screws.

Justin,

If the jets appear to be tight holding a hot soldering iron them will usually help break them loose. I found a new penetrating oil spray that may help too.

I wish I would have had a can of it when I broke a piece off of the timing cover.

In need of a penetrating oil? .... Try Kroil. It allowed me to totally disassemble a 1950 front axle assembly buy using only a wrench. I sprayed all the bolts every day or so for a couple of weeks. There was a couple of stubborn bolts that took a few days longer. .... I had to order the Kroil off of the net but it is good stuff. I highly recommend it.

I get Kroil and PB Blaster at the industrial bearing supply.
The acetone/ transmission fluid 50/50 mix is a great tool.
PB is cheap.
Kroil spray is about $15.00
The can of Kroil liquid leaked.
Acetone evaporates,
Wintergreen oil was mentioned here by a guy who had been a machinist on a submarine. I think it's good. I tried it.

I got the bike cranked the other day. Needed to buy a battery chsrger/maintainer due to the weather. Cranked her up and I couldn't get her tuned right. Did some research and I think I'm actually giving it too much fuel. The last owner may have actually rejetted it when installing the Jardine slip on. I didn't think they did but it's definitely possible. I'll check back in later with my results.
