get your minds out of the gutter...

I'm trying to swap out bars but can't get pass a stripped screw in the throttle casing. Any advise out there for this 1st time DIYer?

 

You got Focked with out a stripper?? Man that sucks!

 

When you say throttle casing are you referring to the switch housing? Is the head of the screw stripped or is it turning in the hole? If the head is stripped, get a set of easy outs and give it a go. If it is spinning in the hole mabe you can get a putty knife and slide it in from the other side and apply upward pressure as you turn the screw iin question.

Use the OCC method, bog hammer

 

So you talking control housing ...you can use a drill and bit the size of the head and by drilling you'll remove the bead of the bolt.Then romove the contol housing and grab the little bit left with a vice grips and unscrew.H

 

Thanks for the tips...

 

You could also take a Dremel and cut a slot in the head of the screw and use a flat head screwdriver to get it out. I had to do this when I replaced my rocker cover gaskets and the bolt broke off in the jug.
