I have heated the little plugs (and surrounding carb metal) with a small propane torch. I still can't get the plugs out. What am I doing wrong?? I sure do need some advice-Help!

Thanks, I'll get the oxy-act torch out. Wish I wasn't color blind! Maybe the wife will help.

Fred, I always heated the metal, but not the plug itself, and when it was hotter than a hammered hell, the plugs came out with a good proper sized sharp screwdriver. However as you saw below, Roberts who has removed 1000 times more than I ever will, heats the plug till the color change then lets it cool completely then removes it. I use a acety torch with a small tip Im not sure if that propane gets hot enough??? Ol John T

Heat just around the plug, not the plug. The surrounding area must expand slightly. You do not want the plug to expand. You might try again. If you burger up the slot enough to where a screw driver will not stay in, you might as well drill it out and buy another brass screw. They are relatively cheap compared to the time to remove them.

I believe you will have to use an acetylene torch.
You have to heat the plugs not the casting. When you see the flame go from blue to a greenish glow, remove the heat and let cool ( may need to do a few times). Roberts carb shop has a great video (#2) on how to do this and more. He also is very helpful by phone. Check out www.robertscarbrepair.com.

Heat the plug, like Jack said. Just watch the flame very carefully, and watch for it to turn colors like Jack said. It will change and get a green flame off the plug.. When it does this, it is time to stop. We have always gotten the plugs out this way, you may have to heat it up more than once, but not usually. I also think that you will have to use a hotter torch the the one you have been using. The Video tape that Jack is talking about is very good.. a little long, but has some good information on it.. Roberts also has a web site, with some information on it.. Good luck with the Carb.. JDGnut
