Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum and renovating a bike I owned 28 years ago. All progressing well until I noticed all pilot air jet holes were blocked. These are the ones that screw up from below outside and into the intake. I managed to press 2 out but carbs 1 and 2 are refusing to play. Is there a trick to getting out the snapped tip of these as I don't want to bin or damage the 2 carbs. Is there someone in the UK who overhauls or brave enough to redrill them. Any suggestions.

Those are pilot fuel screws.
A sharp pointed awl or similar, angled from inside the carb often works. A sharp pick tool with a 90 degree bend on the tip works well too. It's tricky finding the tip of the broken point if you scar up the carb body so know this in advance. There is a tutorial regarding this on Basscliff's website.Ed

Thanks Guys this is very helpful, as I have split them from the back plate I'll soak the offending stripped carb in a heated untrasonic first and then press as mentioned.Comment
