Broken Air Mixture Screw
02 Jun 2006 06:51
I went today to change the air mixture screws out of my bike, when I noticed one of the tips was broken and is nicely lodged still in the mixture screw sleeve. I have been rattling my brain trying to figure out a way to get this part out, has anyone ever had this happened? and is there any way possible to get this thing out without damaging everything????:blink:

i used a fine tipped scribe to gently push the brass tip out. be careful not to enlarge the hole if you can help it.
