What's the best way to extract mixture screws?
Please don't say "e-z-out"
Long story:
These things haven't moved in 21 years. I decided that it was time to correct a rich condition and found them seized.
I then soaked them in 10-n-1 for two days and started turning. I got no more than 3/4 of a turn, so I soaked them again. Next day showed no progress, so I lightly bumped them with a hammer a few times and got a little further.
Back and forth, back and forth, etc...
I'm not rich anymore, but I only have two turns available. The slots are pretty much gone. These things have got to come out, and the heads aren't going to make it!
Short story: I screwed up the mixture screws for the first time in my life. Help?
(I did get one of them outunk::confused2::clapping
Can I cut a new slot or anything besides the E-Z-out?
