The best tip i ever had. The nitric acid dissolved the stuck part of the mixture screw and did no harm to the aluminium. Thank you. I can now use the old carb.
Got the same problem, bought some carbs off ebay and I was stripping them down for cleaning, the point had snapped off the mixture screw, , is this diluted or neat ? I
It’s was slightly dilute, I don’t have the exact concentration, I believe it should work either way; although I would go for dilute and add more volume as needed to prevent spattering
i have a carburetor with the tip of a air fuel mixture screw in there. will this damage the carb at all? will it just eat the brass? or whatever metal the tip of the A/F screw is.
It depends on the metal used in both parts; it shouldn’t harm aluminum, it should dissolve brass. Also be aware of where the air file mixture screw leads and prevent the acid from dripping on things. Good luck!
What is "the base of it"? some needles are alloys of a few different metals; if you give me a few more details would be happy to help as best I can, cheers

Where do you get the acid from
The Science Store in Denver- if you look up lab supply places they’ll have it
I tried this and it dissolved the base of it but it didn’t go all the way through. I repeated it and it still didn’t work. Any help?
