Took the day off work today and got a bunch of stuff done. Switched out the gas bottle for my welder, acquired some welding consumables, new screws for the throttle blades, and a bucket of carb cleaner.

I ended up trying to drill the broken screw and extract, but I missed the center just a smidge. Whoops. So I did the next best thing: drilled all the way through and tapped the next screw size up. Thankfully, that worked so I got all the parts dipped and cleaned up. I don't believe the carb had ever been apart as it still had the plugs over the idle mixture screws.

Looks like a somewhat dry morning tomorrow but raining a bunch on Sunday. I plan to try dropping the gas tank in the morning and then finish putting the carb back together on Sunday.
