Loose Air Mix Screw Will Not Fall Out


  • Air Mix Screw is loose but will not fall out. Dual carb from a 2003 Shadow. Air mix screws are in recesses and both covered with grime. I got one out fine. On the 2nd, I used Q tips to clean. Screw has backed out fine, and I can move it and can tell it's loose; but I cannot get it to fall out. I've tried picking, rubber mallet, spraying with carb cleaner, hot water. Nothing seems to work. Could someone please advise?



  • @Klaas the aluminum plug is not drilled out completely. 


  • YAHTZEE!!!!! This bit of screw plug is out!!! I used the screw shown below to dig into the plug and yanked it out.  And the air mix screw and company pictured came right out. Wow. Thank you.  @TJ  You are the man. Unbelievably sharp eyes. I would have never gotten this without your help.


  • @Klaas huzzah!!!!
