taking out a twisted off airscrew out of a carb?

[deejaycee_2000]

Anyone have a good way of removing a twisted off airscrew, out of a 1990 30hp suzuki carb? It is a copper screw twisted of level with the hole but luckily not stuck dead, it should turn out easily but can't get an easy-out tool that small, anyone have any ideas?

Drilling would be the only option eh?

Yes it is an option, but one that I am trying to avoid, that's why I am looking for other suggestions ...

put a slot in it and turn it out with a screwdriver a small dremal bit works great for making the slot

mmm thanx I thought about that, now I probably have to go buy myself one of those hobby tool sets to go make a slot, it is cases like these I wish I can do magic and make the broken off piece dissapear ...
