Carb Screw nightmare (Read 128 times)

TheCaliKid YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 31 Hollywood, CA	Carb Screw nightmare 10/04/10 at 16:14:40 Well I thought I had it worked out. Set out to do the white spacer mod after checking Auto Decomp & Valve clearances and changing Spark plug. Trying to get the Diaphragm cover off, had my impact driver, new stainless hex screw replacements, a good bit, WD40.....One out, three stuck & stripped. Any ideas? Thanks

It worked on my carb.

Getting the carb off was tough, getting it back on....a real pita. Like the idea of putting the Allen Screws on when you get the bike, would have made life so much easier. Thanks all!
