Wanted - Carbs or Carb bodies for 79 XS400

[SeanM222]

Unfortunately the PO screwed the idle air screws on too tight, and they broke off and are permanently stuck in the carb bodies.

I'm looking for a set of carbs that I can either rebuild, or just the carb bodies.

Location Oakland CA.

Definitely get another set, but the fuel and air screws tend to be a. Softer metal. Maybe you could drill them out?

Just a quick update guys,

Tried several methods to get the screws out, and none worked.

I found the exact same set for $80 on fleabay, so picked those up, ordered brand new mixture screws for added peace of mind, and put it all together. She runs! Onto adjusting and fine tuning.
