I've got a stripped screw on my carb. Any ideas on how to get the little asshole out? It's lubed but even pliers won't turn it. The rest needed some gentle pursuasion but gave up peacefully in the end. This one apparently wants death by police fire. Help!

Nevermind. Some serious threatening with a hammer did the trick.

Because somebody took it off.
If you have a Motorcraft or Autolite 2V or 4V carb, not to worry. They basically make one rebuild kit that fits all. The year and model ought to be enough.
I didn't hit the carb with a hammer. I put the screw driver on the screw and lightly tapped it to loosen up the rust and crap that was keeping it from coming out. And it worked, so who's the hack?

Thanks. I thought it would be stamped on the outside. I didn't realize they used those tags. I did some research and figured it's an Autolite
2v carb. I also discovered after the "rebuild" the PO did, it had no gaskets in place at all except for at the coil housing. Things that make me go "Hmmmmm". This is a far cry from replacing generator brushes in a VW!K.
sure ya did like i believe ya LMFAO
