No Carbs but ive seen this a couple of times and always got the screw out. I get a good quality penetrating oil, wd40's not up to the job, turn the carbs upside down and soak the screw over nite. Then get a hex bit screwdriver and a small hex extension,find a bit that is a really good fit and push down on the screwdriver while turning the hex extension with a small spanner. You have to keep turning 1/4 of a turn and then back, then another 1/4 until its out.

I bought a set of butchered carbs for a couple of spare parts so I have the bodies. Which body is it you need because they are slightly different depending where in the bank they are?(blocked fuelways on the end ones, an extra casting on one of the centres for the throttle cable etc etc) Don't get your hopes up too much until we figure out which you need because 1 or 2 of the bodies are butchered pretty well.
