A lost cause set of carbs?

[Bonehead]

As I have only just begun to have time this week to take apart the last 2 carb bodies, they both had stripped screws. That makes 3/4 of the carbs with stripped screws before I even touched anything. One has a stripped pilot jet/screw (how you strip the pilot screw, I don't even know), another with a completely stripped and drilled INTO pilot jet, and another stripped pilot jet(which was my guinea pig to try to get out the jet... didn't go too well). To be honest, I think just buying a new set of carbs would work much better than trying to take out the stripped, and drilled screws. Especially since I don't have access to the right powertools to get the job done correctly anyways

My thoughts are rather than just buying a couple bodies and transplanting parts, I may as well buy a whole new set for just as much and have some spares. Your thoughts? I will also be dropping almost $160 on intake boots soon as well so... This may slow down my progress even more

When I took my carbs off, some of the boots came off as well, so its the expensive ass intake boots. Ouch is right Thank Jesus I have a job

All the jets are pretty inexpensive, so if you have to destroy them during disassembly (and dont damage the carb bodies) it would be worth keeping them.

I wonder... How would I go about getting a drilled out jet though?
