Carb Cleaning Annoyance
Was working on the carbs today and both mixture screws' washer and o-ring are stuck. I was tempted to use an eyeglass screwdriver to fish them out but thought the better of it when I realized the side walls may get damaged.
Any suggestions? |

I can't imagine you'd cause any problem if you carefully fished them out with a jeweler's screwdriver or a tiny hook of come sort.

I have had good luck with a pipe cleaner. just push it in and pull it out until the o-ring, and / or washer "stick" to it. It takes a few tries...
