As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Broken Fuel Screw removal

Hi there,

I have a 1977 GS750, and i've been trying to remove broken fuel screw tips without success. Two of them came out no issue, and yet the other two are very much still stuck, to the point i've started to mar up the carb body trying to punch them out.

What's the next thing to try? I was thinking of drilling them out, but i don't want to ruin the threads or the carb where the fuel screw goes. If in the case that is the best option, what size drill bit?

Anything else I should try?

Thanks!
 
Is the screw stuck or just the tip broken off in the body? Assuming it's just the tip you need to use a pointed tool and push the tip backwards from inside the carb throat. If you don't have the proper tool with a pointy tip, make one.
 
Just the tip. That's where I'm having an issue. I found the smallest diameter punch lowes sells, chucked it up in a drill and then used the angle grinder to make it into a point, and using that still isnt' working.
 
Maybe try some PB Blaster and a torch to break down the corrosion?
