Here i was cleaning out my carb, everything was looking great and since it was mine i wanted it to be real clean so i went to pull the throttle plates off. the top came out no problem so i went for the bottom ones that open for the manifold. To my luck one of the teo srews busted the head off it. I stopped immediately to extract it but the plate is on very tight and hasnt budged at all almost like bothe screws are there, no play in itat all so before i damaged anything else i left it alone. Am i going to be fine or do i need to do surgery on it?


im listening because somebody always knows more than I.

If I were in that position, I would drill out the old screw, retap the hole and insert a new screw.
