It seems like the po tried to drill out a stripped air/fuel screw and gave up. Is there any way to take this out or do I need a new body?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

No need to panic.
If you have a Dremel rotary tool, put a large cut-off wheel in it and cut down the center of that 'tower' and put a slot in the top of the screw. Flush the chips out, use a good screwdriver to remove the screw.
It will look a bit like this, and there is no need for a new body:

IF the threads arent already ganked to crap. Looks like the drill bit has slammed off the sides of the hole more than a few times...which is why I said what I said.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not sure if 32 or 34 I will measure. The bike is a 80 gs850 g if that tells you anything.
I don't work on bikes a whole lot, but definitely do on cars, and it translates all the same. I hate to see shoddy work, and trust me, there's more than enough to go around on this bike...
I will bring it back to where it runs properly that's for sure, it just seems like it's a never ending story with it.
The bike was already chopped up, so there's no point in a resto, but she definitely wants to run, so will make her run.
I'll try to cut the towers and see where that gets me, thank you for the info :beer:Comment

It will be a 32mm carb and looks like the #1 carb. You can attempt what Steve has indicated and try slotting the screw tower first. If that doesn't work, and you need a replacement carb body, just let me know. I have one cleaned and ready for install that you can purchase. I even have the mixture screw assembly for it. Just PM me if you're interested.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg
