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.Tags: None

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.Ed
