350x carb air mix screw snapped

[DeePa]

I was going to rebuild my carb on teh 350x, and the air/fuel mix screw snapped off flush with the carb body. I bought another stock carb on ebay, and the same thing had already happened on there. Is this a common problem? And whats the best way to get it out?

Thanks,
MIke

Mine did also a couple weeks ago. The neck on the screw is pretty narrow and I guess breaks pretty easy. The screw is big enough to use a small "easy-out". Just drill a small hole about half way though and thread the easy-out in and back it out. After I got mine out, I put found a small screw and put it in the hole I drilled for adjustment purposes. Just put a little grease on the treads so it's easier to turn. Hope this helps.
