Hi,
This one I have done. I snapped the top off the screw and there was nothing showing above the casting. I used a junior hack saw blade and cut a groove into the broken stub thats left. Unfortunately you end up cutting into the casting a little. Scruts would probably call this a modification if they saw it. But for me it was the only carb I had so no choice.

What has happened is that the screw bottoms out in the carb (I have counted the thread turns). So to stop this happening I have added a small washer to the screw....no problems since.
