    Carb rack screws

    Mine are all stuck. GS 1100E that the carbs haven’t been apart since 1984(didn’t need to be) So I’ve hit everything with PB blaster but am wondering if this can penetrate when the screws are fully seated?

        Replace them with allen heads from Lowes or Home Depot.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Went to hardware store today and got all new stainless buttonheads and reassembled.

            FYI, button heads have a shallower socket as compared to socket heads. As something your probably going to open and clean a few times in the bikes life you might want to go with socket head style.
