The carb on my warrior leaks gas when I leave the the gas on because the float bowl screw has been stripped and I am going to sell it, I have looke around can not find a oem carb ANYWHERE, would it be better to get a new one or just sell it as is

 

Ebay

 

I tried and there was only 1 other than that it was just carb rebuilds

 

I would try to fix it. Is it cross threaded or just the screw head that is stripped? Is there anything else wrong with the machine? You will usually get a better price and have an easier time selling if your machine is ready to ride.

 

The screw head is stripped no way to get it out, right now it's getting the stator fixed and after that it's getting parked down at my gpas for sale, the case has been jb welded, but other than the carb that's the only things wrong, when I get it back I'm gunna change the oil and the filter, and would it be worth it to spend the money on a new carb or just keep the old one

 

Not worth it for just a screw head. I have removed these in the past by using some vice grips on the screw. You may need to have a smaller pair of grips to fit in the space, removing the carb from the machine is usually helpful as well. Alternately, you can use a file or dremel to carefully notch a larger slot to fit a bigger screwdriver into. OEM always use a soft metal for these screws that is easy to strip. I always try to replace these with a harder allen headed screw before they set up like that. This should be a cheap although possibly time consuming fix that I would do before the sale. The screw is already buggered up after all.

 

Ok, thanks for the help scooter, I will look into trying to replace the screw, so after evry thing is said and done, what would be a realistic # to expect to get, it's a 98 and the fenders got the normal scratches, and the jb weld as stated earlier
