Any suggestions on getting a broken slow speed jet out of a carb?

some are press-fit, some are screw in.
really helps to know what carbs you have so we can give you accurate info.....

new carb body or left hand drill/easy out???

screw out type.  PB blaster overnight to make it easier.
+1 to the easy out.  brass is soft.  go slow.

L handed drill bit?

Is it jammed in there?

I have removed those with pin tip in a circular motion, and with a small flat blade screwdriver tapped gently into the soft brass.  The ones I removed were the result of over tightening and snapped off remains.  The remains were not stuck in the threads.

I snapped one off doing it up too tight as it seems, I made up a small screw driver tip on the bench grinder with the tip tapered a little and quite sharp, give a couple of light but firm taps with a hammer so the tip eats into the brass, it screwed right out, just be gentle.

great Ideas guys thank you.  I have a couple pick tools I don't use much. I could try.

Just try a small flat blade electronics screwdriver. Make sure it fits into the brass part.
