I read your other posts, couldn't really figure out what'd cause it...

PDQ sell individual DJ jets. They might do needles individually, not sure.

Apart from the *&$!^& choke cables, the carbs are fairly simple to remove. Fuel hose (between the pump on teh RHS and the carbs. Various electrical connectors. 2 hose-clip deals attaching the carbs to the engine. (front one is awkward to get to)

The screws are all phillips headed. The impact driver works well because it's force in as well as round, means it's less likely to jump out or round off. The heads are big enough to work well with mole grips. It's not a question of torque applied, more how you apply it without damaging the heads. Some people manage to get them off just fine, mine were all difficult.
