fucked screws

[Rufus]

after all my hard work getting the carbs off the cb (which is a pain in the dick after the lovely and spacious zx6) i found, to my dismay, that some bellend had pretty much rounded all the screws on them. what the hell do i do now?

cheers.

cut a notch in them with a hacksaw or a dremmel and undo them with a large flat head screwdriver,
or get some small multi-grips and grip the screw and undo them,
easy as pie,
failing that, grind the top of the screw off, and grip the shaft of the screw, they will easily undo when no weight is on them

What has already been said, hacksaw grooves are excellent, double blade your hacksaw for great results. Giving them a great hit with a hammer and a punch is an excellent way aswell as it shocks the threads.

If the screws really are fucking (screwing?) as you have claimed in your title, then once you have extracted the old screws and they have finished reproducing you will have some nice new screws to replace them with

I apologise for the above sentence. It's kind of late.

Is it a vacuum fuel tap? Need the float bowls priming?

Cracking open the drain screws and making sure there is fuel getting through is a good first step anyway.

no change in spark plugs. tried dropping fuel, still nothing. every time i kick it there's not even the slightest sign that the bike wants to tick over, or even a splutter then death. it just won't start lol.

So the plugs are dry but fuel is getting to the float bowl?

Tends to suggest either a massive air leak so there is no vacuum through the carbs (try putting your hand over the choke end as you turn it over, it should suck your hand against the carb) or that one or more of the jets are blocked.

If there is suction throught the carb, fuel in the carb and an open jet, fuel should be getting into the engine and at least making the plugs wet and the exhaust smell of petrol.

Are they CV or slide carbs on your bike?

Does your throttle cable pull the metal sheet in the carbs open directly?

I managed to remove this rounded off gear change sprocket with a square stud extractor without breaking anything. .

The pooper dream uses horrific CV carbs which rely on the clearance between the slide and the bore of the carb to provide vacuum lift, hence they are a pile of shit once a bit of wear kicks in. However if it was running before then this might not be your problem.
