I stripped out the brass screw head on the main jet and I wish I would have stopped there but I didn’t. I went for an easy out and thought I was doing OK but I ended up breaking the stem that the jet srews into. I think it’s called the emulsion tube. Attachment 109407
The key to not stripping the E tube is not to F!@K with it. As the rusty man said ,plenty on eBay.
