PAPAMACK Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 hi all new to this so any help would be much apreciated. i have a husqvarna wr125 with a yamaha dtr 125 engine in it but i cant get the bloody thing started. i am 90% sure it is not a electrical problem as the engine was running when i bought it and im getting a good spark. currently has no air filter on so was convinced had dirt in carb/jets but when i went to strip carb down noticed some berk had rounded the screws and i cant get them out any suggestions?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedz Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Had a similar issue, went to strip the carb down and screw heads sheered...the only way i could think of getting them off was to drill the heads off (set the drill so you are drilling anti-clockwise i.e. as though you were loosing the screws it also loosens them)....it works but BEFORE you do it make sure you have some spares to put back in their place. Also maybe wait to see if anyone has any less destructive ideas Also, make sure you don't slip and mess the carb up!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
