what a good idea wow im going to give that a try

I'm seeing a lot of videos about this topic. What are you guys doing to break those jets? I'm suspecting you're using the WRONG SCREWDRIVER. Regular American flat blade screwdrivers DO NOT FIT into that jet slot properly. Just like an American Philips screwdriver DOES NOT FIT into the Philips-looking screws that hold Japanese carburetors together. The Japanese have JIS screwdrivers which are ALMOST the same as our Philips screwdrivers but they fit better and more snugly into those type of screws. From what I've been reading, you should be using GUNSMITHING flat-blade screwdrivers for taking out carburetor jets. Their flat sides are parallel and fit better into the jet slot. American flatblade screwdrivers have a taper which will lead to rounding off or breaking off the top of the jet. Oh, JIS stands for Japanese Industry Standard. They're a bit more expensive than our flat blades but when you add in the cost of broken jets the cost comes out about the same.

My bike pilots jet damage.. my question piolate jet damage any problem my bike milge very short plees reply

i was too make this jop problem but without fire hot only this alien difrend tipe need very slow slow and look good

Thanks bro for the idea! I did a similar thing where I drilled using a 2mm bit and then just hammered in the hex key of 2mm using plastic hammer(without modifying the key) and so I had proper leverage when holding it with a ring spanner and it came out perfectly. The hex key got bent a little but it worked.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip!

I ended up twisting the allen key almost till it snapped , didnt work hoping i can get this thing out

Very nice. Good job

I have never commented on TH-cam before but I had to on this...…….OMG it worked! Be careful drilling straight and don't go to deep but it worked...…...Thank you Sakrine 1

Good technique, going to give it a try.

I have two stripped jets! going to give this a go. Think this is going to be the answer to my troubles. Shot bud!!

mate once again i thought i new everything,,so i try the easy out screw..worked out every other time!!NOT THIS TIME .LIKE YOU SAID,YOU WILL SPLIT THE CARBY...THATS WHAT HAPPEND..I SHOULD HAVE TRYED YOUR WAY,,CHEERS THX FOR THE ADDVICE

Fantastic technique. Worked beautifully.

Legend! Worked for me :) But I used a modified torx screw driver that fit instead of the ellen key. Great idea, thanks.

Tried this on three pilot jets on my 650 kat and a spare set of carbs for a 550 and they all came out

Holy cow that's genius! Gonna try this out

This saved my tail! Thank you very much!

Those carbs are identical to the carbs on the gs750es i just got where I experienced this problem today, not surprising though because just about everything seems to be stripped on that bike. This has also happened to me with a set of bst36ss carbs from my old gsxr, it seems that old brass jet can get extremely brittle. The pilot jet is still stuck in the gsxr carbs i'll have to give this a go! thanks!

good tip as brass jets are murder to get out.... thanks

Thanks. I am going to have to try this.

Thank you, i was about to use a bolt extractor. Great to hear a south African accent on TH-cam. Dankie

THANK YOU! I though I was going to have to risk it with an easy out, nothing would get it to budge. You HAVE to cut the top off the allen key, or it's nearly impossible to hammer it in strait. I skipped the drilling, and beveled the edge on a key that was just slightly larger then the hole.

Thanks for the vid saved my rebuild. I had to use a combo of allen key and star drive.

THANKYOU!

great concept, thanks

first time i got a decent and right explanation ! good video.
