Default Re: Need help locating an Air Jet for Yamaha carb

As long as the hole in the jet is not disturbed you can file the rest of the broken head off and carefully cut a new slot for the screw driver. The diameter of the jet's hole is all that matters. I have 2 of 6 like that in my 150 Johnson. Not sure of the thread size of your jet but go to a hardware store and find a nut with the same threads, wrap a tiny bit of black electric tape on the jet thread and screw it into the nut. You can then hold the nut with pliers or a vice while filing the jet.
