I pulled the carb and there are just TWO break-off bolts holding the float bowl in place.
I used a fine saw this time to cut a flathead slot. STILL barely got the first one off. I actually used an impact driver. Shocked at how hard to remove! The second one was NOT as cooperative, so I ground off the head and removed the bowl. To my surprise, the shaft of the bolt was EASILY accessible. I could have just ground off the head on BOTH of them. Once exposed, it was no match for a vice grip. But the reason became obvious. They are loctite sealing these in place! HAH!!! No match for a dremel and vice grip! BY THE WAY... Threads are M4 -.7 I got a couple of 16mm Allen bolts to replace them. Last edited by Thumper; 08-31-2022 at 01:26 PM. |
