I just got a used MS460 and while adjusting the carb (Walbro HD-16), the head of the Low needle valve adjusting screw broke off.
I am looking at extracting it with a left handed drill but this will be very difficult because the screw is only about 1/16". It looks like getting a drill (1/32") this small in left hand twist will be difficult relatively expensive once shipped. Any one have ideas or experience that might help me get it out? I'm tempted to just get a cheapo probably Chinese carb, but really not sure if it will deliver-- it appears parts for the HD-16 carb aren't all that easy to find as it appears to be discontinued.
All help welcome except telling me I'm a dumbas$$for breaking off the head of the L screw cuz I am embarrassingly aware of that at this point.
