GS550 Fuel Mixture Screws

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

I am on to a new project. A Cafe for the girlfriend.

When rebuilding the carbs I had a terrible time getting the fuel screws out? I drilled out the plugs and removed the screws, spring, washer, and rubber seal.

I have a set of doner carbs and someone tried to remove the mixture screws and buggered up the top so they may never come out.

Looked on line for new replacement screw sets and nothing that looks like the ones I removed.

Looked at the oem parts diagram and no reference to them???

My questions are :

Are these screws supposed to come out?
Does anyone make replacements???
Is it normal to be so difficult to turn them??

My questions are :

Are these screws supposed to come out? - YES
Does anyone make replacements??? - YES, lots of aftermarket companies offer them. Check Z1Enterprises or ebay.
Is it normal to be so difficult to turn them?? - YES, they corrode in place
