Forum;

Nobody has mentioned the cause of this seized screw...Galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, exacerbated by the fact that this screw is not moved too often...so whatever method you use to remove the remains (and I would start by saturating the thing with the penetrating lube of your choice)...and you MAY wind up oversizing the replacement screw (it's not the end of the world and wouldn't be the first time...), I suggest you Anti-Seize the threads after your repair (and on the other carb too!) to keep this from happening again....the locking springs on the screws will see to it that the adjustment stays put.

...just another use for AS...they just don't learn until this happens!

Cheers
