Carb problem but need wrenching expert

Got the new carbs today, they look pretty good. Suprised to see a 27 year old virgin though, air screws still covered.

Good luck with the new set...

I just cleaned/rebuilt the carbs from my "project" '82 650GL and they had never had the screw caps off either.

Take care when you drill a hole in those caps, they are only about .200" thick and it's easy to "accidently" drill the head of the screw underneath.

Good deal, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and call it a day.

Hi,

For what its worth now, I have a carb like that on a yammie, we were able to get the screw out by heating repeatedly, grinding a screw driver to the perfect size, using pb blaster repeatedly, ended up drilling it and easy outed it using heat on the carb tower. I havnt broken an ez out yet, dont know why though with you all having so much trouble. I did end up buying a can of freon with which to try to freeze the screw smaller along with the heat applied to the carb body, I didnt end up needing the freon though.
