    The p o of my bike stripped the heads off all the screws to drain the bowls and check float levels. I got one out so far with an extractor . Before I get the ask out I want to make sure I have some new one to replace them. Does any body know where I can buy these. My bike is a new 82 maxim 650

    Attach the bowl to a 2X4 or straight to your work bench.(for leverage)
    Use a propane torch to heat and cook the dried varnish exactly where the threads are - they should come out alot easier.
