Removing f*cked mixture screw

[bikenut]

Ok, so now think of how the screw was buggered in the first place.

It should be easy to unscrew as its not a fastener, just a tapered end screw with a small steel washer, o ring seal and spring.

Can these small screws seize/corrode in place, hell yes.

So knowing this whats your plan of action ?

If it where mine, a strip down and some heat/cold to help thinks along.

Even hot water can have its place as the water will tend to wash crap ( oxidised alloy ) away and free off the screw.

Remember that the very small end of the tapered screw can probably be seen inside the carb throat.

You can see in the exploded view the way the screw, its washer, o ring and spring go together.

Hi,
Its beginning to look like a lost cause
Choke assembly is seized too.
Even getting the lever off to get better access to nut that holds choke assembly on, needs a thin spanner & that didn't help.
Nut just won't budge (It's starting to chew up)

Great carbs when they work but try getting them apart after some clown has messed with it .
& i hate giving up. But finding a compatible replacement means hours on eBay
france/germany daily, & deep pockets.

cheers,
GAZ
