[urq] Stuck idle adjustment screw

[Ashley Cobain]

I had the same on my WR during the rebuild. A friend of mine took it to a 
friend of his who used a "spark eroder". Mmm...I didn't know what it was 
either but in the right hands one of these eats away at the metal you want 
to remove and leaves the thread in fine condition ready to re-use. I had 
previously broken off a hardened screw extractor in it making further 
traditional drilling impossible.
See if you can find someone with a sparke eroder and save yourself a lot of 
bother an expense.

All the best
