Default New carb problem....

Well, it's not actually a carb problem, but an air cleaner problem. When I was working on the carb the other day, I noticed how bad of shape the gasket for the air cleaner was. We had some black U-channel at work, so I picked some up. Tonight, I was going to install it......WRONG! I guess I over-tightned the air cleaner cover screw, so now, all it does is spin. I must have broken the nut loose in the air cleaner bracket. I tried to put some tension on the screw and turn it, but it won't back out. I tried wedging a couple of screw drivers under the air cleaner cover, but the screw just spins. Has anybody run into this? Any suggestions????

You're probably going to have to drill the screw head out and go from there.

Thanks.
