    How do I remove the pilot needle plugs '82 GS 450/mikuni BS

    I'm sure this topic has been covered, but I'm having a little trouble finding it. Maybe with an explicit thread subject, it will be easier to find for the next lost soul.

    I have '82 carbs on my '80 GS 450. It is a little rich on the pilots. There are plugs covering the needle screws, that are made of a slightly shinier metal than the carb body, are about .3" in diameter, and have a small hole in the center. I imagine there is a tried and true method of removing these, that results in the least buggerage. Could someone please fill me in? Thanks.

      Use a small drill & be carefull you only neet to go about 1/8" Just enough
      so that you can drive a screw into the hole If you go to far you will hit the pilot screw

          So drill a hole and I can get a screw in there, but then what? It'll just yank out?
