Title: How to remove?
Post by: Thunderdually on July 07, 2012, 11:58:49 AM
My son has a go-cart with a Dekni Japanese regular carburetor. It has four bolts in the carb bowl. 2 have the hex head  with the center  point and 2 that just have a round head on them.  The hex is no problem but I can’t figure out how to get the other two screws out.  Any one have any ideas on how to remove them?

I usually grind a slot into them and use a flat head screwdriver. If that's not possible, then you will have to drill the head off. Most likely, you will have to replace the screws either way.

If you're able to grab the sides with some alternative lifestyle cutters, grab hold and twist. Usually works best vertical.

Thanks for the replies but this post is a year old...  I did get the bolts out using the method Andy described.....

That's funny, I never pay attention.
