And my '84 700 carb rebuild saga continues ...

Hi,

Well, a while back my 700 quit running and, long story short, I ended up starting to rebuild the carbs. In the meantime, I bought my '07 & she's been taking up most of my time. So, now I have 3 carbs rebuilt & started the 4th today. Murphy interfered & now I have a pilot air adj. screw stuck in place. I drilled a small pilot hole part way in to the head of the screw for an 'easy out', then discovered that the easy outs I have which may have worked are both missing tips (broken off). I hope I can find some good 'easy outs' as I think I only have one chance to get the screw out before it's completely boogered up :^(.

If anyone has a better idea, I'm all eyes :^).

Get a pair of small hemostats and see if you can get a grip to turn and pull at the same time.

 

Thanx Masonv45. As both my parents were in the medical field, I do have some hemostats, although we used them for other purposes back in the late 60's/early 70's :^). I also have some various jewelers pliers my wife left & I'll see what I can use there. I don't think my hemostats will be strong enough.

Well, nothing has worked. I'm pulling carb #4 body from another set I have & replacing the boogered one :^(. Hope this works ...
