Last weekend Russ79, ZombieRob and I were working on Robs bike and cleaning the carbs. Found that all four of the mixture screw tips were broken off and stuck in in the carb bodies. We tried everything we could think of and all of the tips that we found here on the site with no luck. Russ called Trbig for some ideas. As per his suggestion, Russ put them in the freezer for about an hour. Took a o-ring pick and they popped right out. Once again Tod saved the day.

That being said, I wonder if a localized shot of freeze would work? I use 'air in a can' in electronics troubleshooting, helps identify flaky components. Turn it upside down and it will freeze the sh--t out of anything. JATComment
