Help getting a tiny screw that broke inside a 1986 honda rebel

[SOLGardener]

Is the screw down a hole, or is the shaft reachable? I've had success cutting a line across with a dremel and putting a flathead screw driver to it and unscrewing, but it all depends on the location. Is it rusted/corroded varnished in place? Was it coming out when it broke? or has it moved at all before breaking?

For $10?

Well... no. Unless it's Pablo's Gromero Shack down off Power's Ferry Rd.

Umm, yea... well; You're pretty much screwed, I think! (in my best Napoleon Dynamite voice)

Do yourself a favor and come off the hip and pay a machinist to resolve the issue. If you are not skilled in tiny screw removal you will end up paying mucho dinero to have someone fix your mistake.

I searched for tiny screws on a Honda Rebel and all I got was carb jet screws or some such. Assuming such, is it possible that a used carb is cheaper than the cost to removal of the screw?

If you are used to cars, EVERY fastener on a Rebel 250 is tiny. The usual culprits are the exhaust studs and when someone over torques the side cover bolts.

I was wondering if anyone around the marietta area had a really tiny pointer to get a tiny screw out. Ill pay 10$ for your time.

Try a jeweler's screwdriver and some stuff called "screw grab" http://www.screwgrab.com/screw-grab.html

Mu money's still on an easy out, not many fasteners on a bike too small to use one.

Easy outs are great in skilled hands. If he drills the screw off center, he is now screwed and will have to defer to a machinist and pay much more to drill and retap or install a heli coil
