DLTX Float Bearing Screws

Brown Green · Aug 28, 2015

Working on a DLTX on a 46 B and can't get the float bearing screws out. What's the best way to do it, and I'm not worried about hurting them, going to replace anyway. I just want to make sure I don't mess up the threads in the carb casting.

Heat them with an acetylene torch till they start to give a greenish flame. Let them cool to room temp and screw them out with your screwdriver.

Thanks, I don't think I kept the flame on them long enough.

Sometimes an impact hand driver will loosen them. Ron Mn

tap it lightly with a small hammer and spray WD 40 on it and then heat lightly.
