Pilot screw for GS850GL 1980.. 25 bucks????!!!

I did use the wallmart chemdip. but that's not my problem right now... I'm still trying to get the pilot valve tip out of the throttle body. Might just start looking for a new throttle body... #1 BS32

You should have let me know sooner.

I could have tossed one in with the pilot screw I sent you.

Just to be sure, though, you are calling #1 the one under your clutch hand?

Yes... #1 the one on the far left as the rider sits. However... I'm going to try a tool I've devised after some thought and banging my head against the walls. What do you think..?? the point will be epoxied to the the base plate of the clamp...the clap fits directly over the pilot screw hole. I will apply a light pressure at first and hit it with penetrating oil.. I've sharpened the awl end and test fitted into the open hole on one of the other, non-jammed pilot screw ports (inside the throttle body). I'm too bleary eyed to do it tonight so I'll try this tomorrow .. I have high hopes.... but may be sending you another PM... IMAG0070[1].jpg
