Basically the previous owner(s) had completely buggered the head on one of the mixture screws on my 1980 bs34 carbs.
I tried a few of the usual methods, lh drill an ultimately driving a small screwdriver into the chewed up remains. Nada.
Does anyone know the thread size of the mixture screw ? It's an M6 something ... But not any of the dies I have match. I'll get a first and bottom tap and hope I am centred enough to get a clean thread.
I think once the thread is sorted I can just tip the carb and shake out the needle bit...right ?
Why do people just do these things and then leave it ......
Thanks.
