So my air/fuel mixture screw was seized on my 85' Big Red. I was running a tad rich so I thought I would tear the carb apart and fix it, so I could adjust it again...I ended up snapping it off! It just wouldn't break free - so I got the pliers out and tried to turn it when -snap. It just broke the head of the screw off. It is now flush with the carb body...Any suggestion's on what to do??? Should I drill it out? I'm thinking i should let the whole thing sit in Gas for a day or two - just to loosen up that siezed jet anyway. I'm worried here - I just put the cold-start kit on this carb - hate to waste that money if I have to get another carb. Any suggestions?
