Need some help here. Hadn't needed to adjust carbs for too long - everything has been running just fine. Front idle adjusting screw twisted right off flush with the carb body!! So now what? How do I get the remaining screw out? Tried grabbing the less than 1/8" remaining below the flange with a needle nose vise grip and got it to move a little, but not enough space or purchase to screw it downards to remove it. I'm trying to solve this without dismantling and removing the carb from the manifold. Any ideas? Would drilling it out be stupid? How hard is this screw steel anyhow? Don't want to even come close to drilling out the threads in the carb body - I had these carbs rebushed,
I have spare replacement screw.
