I tried to remove my air jets(the ones on the carburetor throat) and ended up ruining two of them cause they were really tight,and they're still stuck in there, what's the best way to remove them, with an extractor?any tips would be great. I hope it's not a real big problem.

If we're talking about the same parts (item #16 or #23 on this RonAyers.com - Fiche Diagram for 98+ Kat 600), then they normally get removed by using a flat-headed screwdriver on the slot in the top and turning counter-clockwise. If you've torn up the slots in the jets, order replacements and remove them using a pair of vice-grips locked on from the side.
If we're talking about some other part, let me know which part on the fiche we're talking about.

I've never tried to take those out, but I would expect the same advice still applies -- order replacements and lock a pair of vice grips on them tight, then rotate them out. Maybe SpecialK or one of the other members has some tidbit of knowledge on this part that I don't...

Yeah the thing is that it's recessed in a bore and there's no way to get in there with vice grips, but thanks for the help, I guess I'll try to extract them with a set of really small extracters. I was trying to take them out so I could clean them, and the circuit that it controls I guess, big mistake huh?

Yeah, I'm almost at the point where I'm gonna put the money into a new set of carburetors, I'm getting tired of trying to make this old one work, I'm gonna give it one more shot though, and see if i can get it done myself without going broke. i know how engines and such work, but carbs, no clue, so hopefully someone can help me out, if not then who knows where I can get a set for a decent price.
