    Haha no! Repeatedly bumping the stuck spot! The screw will slowly back out. Hard to explain. LOL

      I thought of heating the carb, but at the time I did not had money so I had to use my Mexican ingenuity, and to try to answer the question. Heat would expand almost any metal, and freezing a metal would shrink it. And since the carb material is very soft it would make the extraction of the pilot screw very easy. Ups yes I meant
      Yes turn it in and out, repeatedly bumming the stuck stop. The screw will start working its way out little by little. May be a long process.
      My English is not that good.
      The reason I had to that is because when I tried to take the pilot screw out, some of the metal shavings when inside the tread. It got stuck and since I kept trying it messed the screw. So I had to user the drill and when I took it out I notice the thread was bad.

        There is usually more than one way to solve a problem. Thanks for sharing yours!
