Drill completely out and make new threads, good luckThanks, they are pretty small wasn't sure they made a screw extractor small enough to fit in there
Yeah, what you said. lolDrill completely out and make new threads, good luck
In the future, if a fastener is moving but then starts locking up, screw it back in, lube it and then work it back and forth a number of times until you finally get it out. In my experience, if a fastener breaks while trying to remove it, an easy out is pretty ineffective. You may need to drill the broken section completely out.
So, what is "a little torque" by a sasquatch's standard of measurement?They just popped don't remember torquing hard at all, didn't even notice until I went to put them back in and were different lengths! Oh well will be greasing new bolts thanks.

Really? Seriously? Your showing the picture of those 2 small holes in the outer side of the case?I was unscrewing the flywheel cover bolts and 2 of them got about halfway out and just snapped
Any tricks on how to get them out without splitting the crankcase in 2?
Thanks for the help!

From what I see there are no recoil screws broken off on that saw.
Show me a picture of the screws you took out.
Umm wow you're right I'm an idiot. The 2 shorter bolts are different length and flat on the bottom while the 2 long carriage bolts are pointed. Looking thru the cover with a flashlight looked like they were supposed to go into those holes but the cover was off a smidge. Clearly adjusting to human life is a struggle for me at times, and your world still frighten and confuses me from time to time! But here's a pic anyway to show that I'm not a complete ape. While I gotcha MM, I heard you were the man regarding muffler mods but I can't find the thread, the images are kaput on another. Any pix you could share or a link?
As you can see I clearly want to drill holes in my machine somewhere, and in spots that won't destroy my machine!
Well, no matter how many times I look at those pics on my little ol' 4"x 6" tablet, I absolutely can't tell if anything is broken or not, therefore, I refuse to be referred to as "suspect". My post was merely a suggestion as to how to remove a small broken off bolt, not to determine if it is actually broken or not.Well, you said it.
Thing is everyone else who commented in this thread is now suspect as well.
Maybe you should just stay away from drilling anything.
Still don't see where you need to drill anything. Is this a joke? Those 4screws you show aren't broken. Also you better repair your fuel tank vent line i.e. You are missing it.
