Carb Vents Need Help???

EZ outs, especially the small ones, are next to useless, except for compounding a problem. Left hand drill bits are less brittle and often will grab and back out a stuck right hand fastener; of course, the alignment has to be good-drill press recommended for small work.

I will have to agree with you Tom. I thought after watching Adam take out the exhaust bolt almost effortlessly I was up for the challenge. Wrong answer. I think you are right though I believe it has to do with the fact that I was a small screw and an even smaller easy out.

Heating up the carb body can help get stuck screws out. It's not only the heat going to work on the gunk, but the different metals expand at different rates.

If for whatever reason you find you are SOL with a #3 carb, you could run those two #2 carbs in the center positions of the rack and switch to a manual petcock. Probably best to get it sorted in the most factory correct way though

I have a few partial sets of 550 VM24s if you end up needing any carb bodies.
