    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

Stripped pilot screw!

Hi guys,

So tonight I took apart my carbs and of course I had to run into one horrible screw... One of my pilots crews was so stubborn that it ended up stripping inside the hole. I tried penetrating oil, everything but heat. All the other ones came out no problem! So any ideas on how to get it out? Also, I've been looking for a replacement screw but haven't found any... Does anyone know where I would be able to locate one?
 
I've had good luck getting parts for my 1978 VM26 carbs from "Jets R Us".
As to the stripped screw??:confused:?? You may have removed the threads from the carb body, or not. Hopefully not. Worst case, you may need to scrounge the bike wrecking yards in your area for a used carb body.
 
Huh weird I found the exact same thing, on the exact same year/make. I am currently looking for another carb body since I, uhhh, "misplaced" some very small parts when i was cleaning the carbs this week :o
