    85 Maxim X pilot screw stuck, got the head broke so no more slot. Thinking about cutting the carb and putting a slot in the screw with a grinder. Any better ideas

    RickCo is a smart man a little olive oil and some heat did the trick, even got the screw out with what was left of the slot. Cut a new slot and i will use the screw again, not sure the bike will run so not putting much $ in it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction ManBot13
