My carb on my TM323 wasnt opening all the way and some people told me to spin the carb around a little. I tried to take the screw out to loosen the carb but the screw head stripped. Does anyone know how i could get the scre off now? I Tried needle nose pliers but it didnt help. And if i cant get the screw out then im screwd and i just wasted $250 if i cant get it out

If you have any star tips you could use one about the same size and tap it in, even a regular screwdriver or drill bit just make sure the drill is reversed. you just need to be able to get something wedged in there to be able to turn it, its not like your going to be able to use the same screw again anyway

Well, i got it out. I used a dremmel. put a cutting wheel on and grinded a line in the screw and took it out with a flat head screw driver. But i dont want to mess with the carb untill i can get some compressed air so i can blow away all the metal shavings.

Glad to hear you got it out, that was a good idea, I would have recommended vice grips or dremel the screw head off and try to push it through (I think it screws into a metal insert on the other end). It would be nice if they shipped the new motors with the carb already rotated around so that the idle stop screw almost touches the cylinder, that seems to be what the Revo needs.
