  • can't remove pilot screw tips

    ok....Im having a heck of a time removing these tips. I can't get any of them out. i've used acetone/atf mix for a lube and nothing...always been able to get stuff with that mix but these aren't budging. any suggestions? is it worth sending them to someone to do before I mess up something.

    The way I did it was....

    HEAT!

    Use a small propane pencil torch and heat them up...

    Use a "tighten-loosen" approach...back and forth a little at a time.

    But get them pretty hot...

    I hope this helps...

      are you talking about the idle mixture screws or pilot jets?
