If you guys are trying to get those diaphragm covers off with the carb still on the bike, you might be hitting the screws at the wrong angle.

na i have rebuilt a total of about 13 carbs all on pregen 250s and they allways want to strip because of the JIS is just different enough from our screwdrivers to give a tiny bit of play. also with the screws being brass that never helps.
dont get me wrong, i have rebuilt carbs and not stripped the screws, but out of every screw ive ever turned in my life "hundreds of thousands" the 250 carb screws are by far the easiest to strip.
