Stripped Pilot Screw on NC35!
Help please.
I was adjusting the pilot setting and for some odd reason on of the teeth stripped and then another and another. These honda screws are so damn soft! Now I'm stuck with a Pilot Screw in the full-lock position. I'm pretty sure I can get a local mechanic to drill/tap it out, but I'm in the US and dont know how to get another pilot screw. What can I do? Anybody have a spare they are willing to send my way?

One of the Teeth? I'm not quite sure I follow you.
The pilot screw is a Flat Headed screw? and you should never tighten it full in, only till it is just seated, then back it out else you risk bending the needle.
