    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...

    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.

Help needed with carb/mix screw

I found out why my bike was such in crap running condition after doing highest RPM job. Cylinder 1 and 4's mixure screw got over tightened and broke off inside (I CANT BELIEVE I DID THIS I DONT USE FORCE ON THEM) I tried using a twist tie to poke the tip out and tapped rather hard and nothing. I am looking to see if there are any suggestions on how to get this out or if someone could do it for me, I would pay for shipping both ways and whatever your time is worth. I am using my spare 1 and 4 carb that I had laying around for the time being but my number 1 carb mixture screw on that has stripped inner threads (I bought this set for parts only) so this isnt much of a good carb body since I can get it close enough to a perfect mix but it cant back out enough to get it just right, just within reason. Message me if you can service these, or any input would be spectacular.
 
Can you feel the tip poking into the carb throat? If so, roll a Phillips screwdriver across it, it might just pop out.

I did that already. its about .5mm above the hole. I used a magnifying glass and its a twisted break/lodge. I am so ****ed at myself I dont know how I would do something so stupid. The only good thing about finding this problem is I figured out why my highest rpm test was unsuccessful and why #1 and #4 were running so dang lean and rushing/erratic idle.
 
Might be easier to post in the Parts Wanted forum for the #1 and #4 carb body. Sorry for the problems, but don't let something simple like a carb body mess up your day. Everything is fixable.:D

Yea I did do that already but I like to have 1 extra of everything for my bike. Hell I have a whole spare motor even. As I already did replace my #1 and #4 but my spare #1 is good enough to get by but thats not saying much. As long as I can get the tip out of them I will have my spares back.
