Drilling out pilot ciruit screw

[Guest]

Drilling out Pilot Circuit screw. Yeah, the notches to be able to turn this sucker out are worn, and now it is stuck in there

Going to try and screw in a "screw" then unscrew the whole thing. Any other thoughts.

ALSO,

Anyone have an extra one they can give or sell in a jiffy?

thanks ya'll

Good luck... Hopefully they are the brass ones & you can get something in there.

If you drill the centre of it you can then knock a straight screwdriver into the walls that are left & get some purchase on it that way, heat might help too.

www.z1enterprises.com do the replacements as do bikebandit etc.

Cut a notch in it with a Dremel. Sounds barbaric but it works

hmmm, what dremmel bit would fit in there?

Use a cutting wheel. Cut the top off the port that leads to the idle mixture screw and put a good size notch in it. Plenty of threads so don't be too worried.

I wish you luck...the one of the previous owners of my bike had two of the damn brass heads worn so much and locked down so hard that an ease-out wouldn't touch them...now one of my throttle bodies is toast.

This is probably one place that an e-z out would work great.

I've broke one every time. They start making that creaking sound and you think you're getting close and BAM break out the Dremel.

I must have you confused. th pilot (low idle) circuit jet is what I need to get out. the jet screws down into a narrow tube. The tube gets closed off at the top by that rubber cap. There is no way to dremel cut the top of that screw as there is no access to it.

I paid the money to get a set of reverse drill bits. I let PB Blaster soak on mine overnight and then slowly drilled into the center with the reverse drill bit and it found its way out. Even an easy out would work but I love the drill bits for small stuff (leaves room for error).

I wouldn't think you could break an e-z-out bit in a brass screw.

The only other thing I can think of is to maybe epoxy a small rod onto the tip of the screw. Let it cure and then try and screw it out.

I know this sounds pedestrian, but can someone give me a break down on "EZ-out"

thanks

EZ-Out I believe was or is a name brand for a screw extractor.

Here is the sears set with the drill bits, but if your money tight (some of us are) you can do a search on Harbor Freight for screw extractor and come up with something.

no point...he damaged the recesses for the screws and I just amde things worse trying to pull the one bastard out. Just needs a new throttle body...
