Hold the carb upside down. There are four phillips head screws holding the float bowl on. Remove the screws and the bowl. In the bowl is your main jet, and other stuff. The main jet is made of brass and it takes, I believe, a 6 or 8mm wrench to remove it. Take it out and put your new one in the same way just backwards. Make sure to get everything the way you found it or you'll have troubles. GOOD-LUCK

That happened to me also. I used a small pair of vise-grips and was able to get um out. If that works get new screws.

acually there is a MUCH easyer way! Just take the drain screw off and its right there. Dont bother with take the thing all apart. And if you really want to make it easy then all you have to do next time is to loosen the screws on the intake boots and twist the carb so that its almost side ways. Then take the drain screw off and change it. simple! Dont forget to turn your gas off. lol
