After making sure the carbs are dry (no fuel) you can use a rotary tool (dremel) to cut a slot in the screw and use a flathead screwdriver to remove the screw.

I have allen replacement screws for the 98+ diaphragm cap screws you're referring to.

o hell. i really dont feel comfy doing that. if i really have to i will, do i? if i do what size bit? and what does he mean (in carbs 101) gray plastic diaphragms

the caps or the diaphragm themselves?

Remove the pilot jets. They are seated down in the tubes where those pesky little rubber plugs came from, remember?!
(Sometimes these stick in place, so PUSH HARD when you first start to turn)

* Turn the carbs over and now remove the light gray plastic diaphragms.
(I like to screw in a jet or a similar size bolt and tap them out a bit – they are seated in tight and actually held in place with the threads between the main jets and the emulsion tubes.)

thats where im stuck also could i have turned the screws when i was drilling? 1 and 4 are the same and 2 and 3 are the same (position wise i havnt taken the out yet.)
and also i drilled into the first screw. it turned it all the way in. i didnt touch 2 but looks lie i knicked the rest. are they all the same turn?
