One of the brass idle screws on my dellortos won't move - Anyone have any advice to get it shifted or will I have to have it drilled out?
Cheers
Jason

You might have to remove the carb and get it in a vice? You'll be able to get it level and soak the thread with WD40 or maybe play a bit of gentle heat on there using a hot-air gun? Drilling shouldn't be needed.

As an aside I'm getting 18MPG. I knew they'd be thirsty, but not that thirsty!! 
Seriously considering going back to the Weber but the noise these dellortos make is incredible.

If you know how good they sound you can't have been driving with good MPG in mind!
