    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.

          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.
