Working on my 1980 GS 750E project. Ok so I pulled the plugs on two carbs and can't get the pilot screws to come out. Did the PB blaster several times, heated up with torch. No luck. Now I am screwed. The one I heated up, the oring probably melted. Not sure where to go with this now.

Pilot screw dilema
- Thread starter alhntr
- Start date
Left handed drill bit, or cut a slot down the hole with disc on a Dremel to create a new channel in the screw for a flat head.
Below is my saga on the pilot screw. DON'T use a screw extractor, bad idea!

oring isnt an issue. in fact if they melt that will usually release the mixture screws. Id heat it up again and let the PB soak in for a few days. Add a drop now and then. gonna take TIME for it to soak through..its not instantaniuos!!!. I can rebuild them if you wish. Private Message me for my info and we can talk on the phone about the situation.
I learned a lesson with those brittle screw extractors. Never again.
