    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Damn thing broke right off in the air mix screw, turning by hand.
Time to put Dremel into the ring?

NOW TAKING ALL BETS!
 
You might want to try a left hand twist drill bit. I've never had any luck with screw extractors.
 
better try a right handed bit first to screw out the extractor. then the left handed one.

go at it by what ever means possable, as it currently is the carb is junk and you will need to replace it so your not making it any worse.

Can we get the ADMIN to do a sticky saying stay away from ez outs and the like. They never work.
 
I needed to do a lot of that not ot long ago with my 550 I found it really helpful to use lots of pb blaster on the bit and on hte screw or what have you.
 
Dremmel a notch into the top of the screw with the broken NEVER out broken off in it. I cut the tunnel off leading to the screw before the threads start.
 
Try looking into the Grabits. Theyve worked great for me in the past.
 
i drilled a hole in mine and tapped in a small torx bit. worked like a charm.
 
Sounds like a fair offer, to me, after trying to find a second hand set of carbs for a GS1000.
