I have a 91 F2 and when i was cleaning the carbs i pulled one of the pilot screws out and the pin at the end was missing, under closer inspection i realized that the last person who cleaned the carbs must have tightened it to much and the pin broke off inside.

has anyone ever run into this before? anyone know how to fix this problem?

 

bump

 

no one has ever had this happen?

 

only 2 ways to go about this, either use a good compressed air through a blow gun with a really small tip on the end or try to find a magnet thatll reach inside?piece of wire etc. are you sure the tip is still in there?

 

100%, it is the only one that when i look inside has a brass circle where the hole should be. i tried using a can of compressed air but that didn't seem to do much. i am going to try the magnet or attempt to heat it and then try the compressed air.
