    Hi-
    New member here with big trouble. I have an 86 VFR700F that I rescued, and it needed a carb rebuild. When removing the pilot screws I broke off the heads off two of them. They're tiny, and made of brass, so they just snapped off. I got one out with visegrips, but the other was stuck tight. After various manglings of the screw head and a judicious amount of heat I got the thing to move about 10-15 degrees, but couldn't get a good angle on it, so I'm going to have to drill it and use an easy out. My question is does anyone know the part number of the pilot screw? All the online dealers use the same exploded diagram of the carbs, but the pilot screw is nowhere to be found. Are they showing the CA version with the "non-adjustable" screw? Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks.
