Well after a little bit if progress with the project over that last few weeks it was the carbs turn for some much needed attention. After getting most things removed from the left carb and an almost empty carb body left, it just left the pilot screws to remove. Upto that point everything had come out without a hitch, nothing siezed or broken. Until these damn pilot screws. It just wouldn't move, either way, on the left carb. The one on the right would turn about and a quater turn. Ive tried everything to get them moving, heat, penetrating fluid, the lot. The end result was that the heads gave way and now there is nowt to get purchase on
Has anyone else had the same issues??
I'm not too sure which way to go now.
Leave them in, have no adjustment and hope they are in the right setting once the carbs have been refurbed.
Get another set of carbs and risk having the same problem.
Try to use a small drill to make a series of small holes to use as a lot for a screwdriver.
Or drill down the centre to open the whole and release the bulk of the screw, then pick up the thread with a tap to remove the brass remains.
Any advice welcome.
