Had a hydrolock in #2, believe it was a stuck float, removed the carburators, #3 Pilot screw full of corrosion, #4 pilot screw  needle broke off and is inside the carb.   Does anyone know a way to remove the needle.  I'm thinking of a small drill bit and do it by hand, twisting back and forth.   Surprise that the bike was running as good as it was.

There was someone recently that did that, then a tiny drop of super glue in the drill bit to remove it.

I think you will have to have a very steady hand, a lot of patience, and good eyesight to pull it off though. (I wouldn’t stand a chance)

Attic Rat volunteered a carb body to the member in question before the broken part was successfully removed. Might check with him and see if he can help.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to try the Glue, that sounds like it might work.

Found a Mechanic that rebuilds Valkyrie Carbs, going to let them handle it.
