Stuck carb jet

[rawr]

One of my jets is stripped and stuck in it's place.

Does anyone have/know where to get one of these?

Thanks!

Looks like a screw extractor. Princess Auto has such sets for really cheap:

that's a left-hand easy out, becareful using that tool, heat it up first at the threads of the jet before inserting the tool.

heat it at the threads of the jet? so heat the carb itself?

The extractors at Princess Auto are made of brittle material and break easily. However for $5, and in this application they might actually work as the jets are made of nice soft material.

I wouldn't attempt / bother to use these for anything other than soft material.

Noted. Thanks. Perhaps I will look into getting a proper set just to have on hand

If you plan on REALLY using your extractors I would suggest you avoid the Princess Auto/Canadian Tire crap... a decent Dormer/SKF 3 piece set (of the type shown in that link) will run you about $100.
I break alot of bolts in my job, I probably have $1750-2000 in different extractors... and they all break, usually at the worst posible time.

Well, I do have a bad habit of breaking tools... I'll look for lifetime warranty

You won't find any with a lifetime warranty.

Oh well. I guess they are basically considered drill bits
