Thanks Dave, Torx method worked!, and you saved me from having to delay my project. (4 carb rebuild on a 140hp Corsa) I used a regular right hand twist drill and started the drill before contacting the jet to avoid catching and tightening it. Only comment to everyone trying this method is to make sure and look at the jet/torx bit when extracting. If there is ANY sign of slippage you need to stop and either drill a bit more and/or set the torx again with the hammer.
All I can say is thank you for making this video! I used a T10 torx with a 3/32 drill bit and pop the jet out first try. I was about to spend money on a set of Easyouts (which I will buy someday), but I saw your video and thought, why not give it a try.
Thanks big bro for recording this! I stripped the damn jet out on my twin cylinder carbatrator...I'm gonna try the torx bit tomorrow...that's a good looking Barred Rock pullet at the end there. Thanks kindly bud!
Gonna try the torx method on an old lawnmower carb. I have 2 sets of jets for spares but haven't been able to get the main jet out yet. Thanks for the idea!!
PB Blaster (let soak), drill out, tap in either an EZ Out, or torx bit, and take out the stripped (head of jet stripped) jet and buy and insert a new one. Apply heat also as an option with propane torch. Good video.
Hey bud. I have a 1996 Suzuki dr200se carb, the main jet is stuck and just keeps spinning inside the needle jet...it moves but the needle jet is spinning with it. Any advice.
Mate, That intro. I'm gonna use the BIG hammer. Thanks my sides needed that laugh. Best Chick to have in the garage, But can she spin a spanner like my wife can and know's how to?
Had to drill it out size by size with drill bits then shove a stripped screw removal bit in there and crank that sucker til it bit then sllooowwwwlllllyyyyyy turn it until it popped loose. All because the dumbass who owned the car before me thought he could remove it with a small flat head screwdriver and stripped it beyond belief.

Perfectly spoken, little by little
Just this moment you saved me a trip to the machine shop with the torx bit set. And to think I’ve got an easy out set coming in the mail from amazon

You saved my ass with the torx bit trick! It worked like a charm! Only took me two years to look for this video 🤣

Nice job Dave!
Just used the torx method on the main jet on my old rochester qjet. Saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks mate.

Thanks Dave for the tips! ...Love the chicken too!!!
Fantastic, torx trick worked like a charm. Thanks!
Tried the drill bit and torx method today. Worked like a charm!
Great trick with the torx bit. I am gonna use it today! Thanks.

Just tried the torx method on an ancient eddie i had sitting around. One came out with the t15, the other with the t20. Worked like a charm.
Nicely done!
Good job man
I'm going to apply your advice tomorrow after it soaks overnight in 50-50 ATF & Lacquer Thinner mixture.
I got a jet out with the torx trick, thanks man!
Great tip!
Just used the torque method saved my bacon bud. Great tip better than money spent on easy outs!
Awesome tips...
That's brilliant!
We call them easy out that was the brand name of the extractor set
great tip
Smarter to use a drill on the torx.... It avoids off kilter torque or slippage.... From experience
Hey bud. I have a 1996 Suzuki dr200se carb, the main jet is stuck and just keeps spinning inside the needle jet...it moves but the needle jet is spinning with it. Any advice.
The torx worked for me, thank god
This is some good info...but I tried it and it didnt work for me. Went all the way up to T35 with no luck.
Tried all the methods and used heat too, but it's just chewing up the brass jet. Any suggestions?
Having the same issue.
I'm soaking it overnight and try again tomorrow.
Good luck.
That mustache tho
Why do you need a reverse drill bit?
Sometimes the drill bit bites into the metal and breaks the bolt loose.
Sweet.

Your hands cover the work and your video is too fast. I'll try your method and hope it works, because I couldn't follow the video.
