HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Precious]

So I'm still in need of help to get the carbs off my 1998 RSTD.

I've got the tank and seat off, the air box removed (man that things a pain in the A$$!

Now I have a stripped screw on the left front boot, the others are all loose.

Any ideas on how to get it off would be helpful, but I think I've tried everything, so likely going to purchase a stripped screw removal kit, recommendations?

Once I get it loose, what needs to be disconnected or removed to get the carbs out?

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated, but please, don't tell me to take it to a dealer. I can't afford their rates and I really want to do this myself to avoid going nuts for the next several months! I hate winter!

I've got a first gen, so I cant tell you exactly what needs to be removed on the 2nd gen to get them off. There will be 2 throttle cables, 4 vent tubes, the fuel line, and the choke cable, I know that much. To get that stripped screw out, i'd simply destroy the clamp and buy a new one, you're just gonna fight it for as long as you own the bike if you dont. 

 

You'll have better luck posting the 2nd gen venture tech page, and also look at the technical write ups. I'm sure theres something on there
