Hi, got my bike out of the garage recently after several months without use and it would not idle. Sounded like a fuel problem (fuel probably too old) so I tool the carbs off to clean them. I removed the pilot screws from carbs 2, 3 and 4 easily but the one in carb1 seemed to be seized. When I applied some force with a screwdriver the four quarters of the head just broke off.
Has anybody else had this problem? Should I buy an extractor set you see advertised and use this after drilling into the screw?
Or should I just leave it where it is and hope it is ok? I don't really want to put everything back and then find it is still not running properly.
I would be grateful for any advice.
