    Broken Pilot fuel screws

    So I was rebuilding my carbs, with new o-rings and gaskets, when I realized that the PO had broken the pilot fuel screws in the carb body. I can't see the tips come through the carb either.
    First Question: Should I be able to see clean through the pilot fuel screw's hole? Also I would like some tips on getting those tips out, I have tried poking them out with a pin but they would not budge.
    Second question: When I took apart the slide assembly I didn't look at the order that the plastic washers and spring where in. Can someone tell me it what order it is assembled?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    Welcome to the forum. Check my website for a VM cleaning/rebuilding guide and a guide to remove stuck pilot screws. Please click on the READ ME link while you're there. It's the "mega-welcome" containing a TON of useful information.


    Thank you for your indulgence,

    BassCliff

      I just spent the day shooting Pb blaster in the hole, and boiling the carbs. At least they are really clean now. I also made a sharp tool but the hole is too small so shove anything in there. I was not able to get one of them out. What are some extreme measures I can take? I was at least able to put the slide assembly together correctly.

        Getting those tips out is a true PITA.

        On the needle question, the thick spacer goes on top, unless you are shimming the needle with a stack of washers in place of that spacer or by reversing the spacers with thin up and thick below.

            I did read it. I made a sharp point on a small screw driver like this:

            My case is a little different than his in that the tips are no sticking out of the body nor are they flush with the body. They are inside the body. I can't make contact with them. I guess I will make the point on the screwdriver even finer and try again.

                The one that I found broken off I had to use a pin vise with a very small bit. If you use this method be extra careful not to enlarge the hole.

                Good luck.
