Default How do you remove the broken plastic.....

How do you remove the broken plastic piece from the inlet of a keihin carb on a '94 sportster 1200? This question is for my brother in-law and all he asked me to write was that he didn't know how to get the broken plastic piece out of the carb so he can get the new brass one put on and he's pissed because he really wants to ride bad. Please help! Thanks.

Use a small screwdriver and a small hammer. Carefully ship it out of there, bit by bit. Be sure to use a little silicone on the brass part to prevent leaks.
