Re: Problem with set screw for carb needle
I had to heat the “grub”screw. It probably has locktite on it. A word to the wise, grasp the slide by the smaller cylinder not the wide top. When it is milled? the aluminum gets thin and can easily crack. Don’t ask how I know.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: Problem with set screw for carb needle
Just another point on that screw. I have had several in for rebuild over the years where someone has tightened the screw down so hard and far it has gone past the 'stop' and locked the needle solid. Presumabaly the person doing that though the needle should be that way, but no, it has to have movement. The screw just needs to be nipped up tight, no more.
