    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Pilot jets are stuck tight and need cleaning , not the mixture screws , the jets . Screw slots are boogered . Help please
 
Use heat and an ezout. Great care is necessary to make sure you don't bust off the ezout.

Check my signature for the carb rebuild tutorial also.
 
Agree with the heat, but better than EZ-out would be a left-handed drill.

Try to do it in a drill press or milling machine to keep everything steady.
 
I used easy outs to get mine out. I did snap one however, in the jet, so i had to drill it out and use a larger easyout.
Easy out is like a left handed drill bit thats tapered like a cone....
Soak well in WD40 or equiv before hand to loosen it all up.

cheers
 
Squirt of proper penetrating oil (not WD40 - proper stuff) and let it sit for 5 minutes. Get a sharp screwdriver the right size, line it up as best you can with whatever of the slot is left and give it a crack with a tack hammer. Hopefully it'll undo.

I agree with this approach with one modification: use heat on the carb body too.
 
got them out with a small easy out no damage to jets but they were really stopped up. Thanks
