nightmare on carburetor bowl

I have a stripped out screw on a carburetor bowl. I was wondering what was the easiest and best way to get it out. it is in the front behind all the brackets. you cannot get needle nose to it.


The big question is can I tips carburetor upside down to get it out. Or will that stick the needle valve..

 

If turning the rack of carbs over (or even one carb) to unscrew a float bowl causes the float needle to stick, then it needs to be cleaned. Which is why you're removing the float bowls anyway, right?

 

I take it the carbs are of the bike.
It's ok to invert them, can you get a dremell or a hacksaw to the bolt head, so you can cut a slot to fit a flat blade screwdriver.

 

Yea I had that fuel leak still and I had to fix it now because the bike is. Done beside carbs And body and I got to Carb 2 and found that so I stooped and boom I'm here..I did not split rack. Don't want to if I don't have to. But I got the one done and I heard that u can stick a valve ands it would not come out that's why I asked.... one more? Would cleaning the float bowl require a Whole carburetor rebuild.

 

Stuck Float Bowl Screws can be extracted by using "Needle-nosed Vice-Grips"

Lock-on to the Screw Head and spank the Tool.

The Fastener will break-loose and be removed without a fuss.
