Installed a PC pipe and have some severe bog between 1/4 to 3/4 throttle. I'm trying to do some carb re-jetting. I wanted to look at the needle jet and clip setting but the two tiny screws in the carb slide which I believe need to be unscrewed to access the needle are stripped. Can't seem to reach the screws with anything but a screw driver. I can't get one unscrewed. Any thoughts? thanks in advance for any help?
 
Have you tried adjusting the air screw any?

As to the screw, spray some PB Blaster on it , let sit. Maybe a little heat being careful not to direct it at needle. Take a good screw driver that fits well and tap on it to "renew" the head some what, then tap on it while turning it. It might work.

Yup, I was already 2/12 turns out of the air screw. I can't seem to get the stripped screw out. I think I will just try a different jet. Is this called the pilot or slow jet? I'm assuming I would need to go a size BIGGER?
