Fill screw stuck help please

[Deleted]

Hi the fill screw is stuck in my friends goblin, it just keeps turning tried different screwdrivers any ideas please ??

[decoy]

Is the screw its self turning,if it is then its striped hopefully the screw and not the atty
to get it out use a small screwdriver to push it out from the tank side whilst unscrewing it normaly and it should come out
try the spaire screw if you got one (if you havent have a dig throw other atty spairs most are interchangeable)

[*-SARIN-*]

As decoy stated above normally does the trick. I would think that the screws stripped rather than the atty as i thought that they were made of SS, which is well, hard!

To get the screw out turn as usual and use another smaller screwdriver underneath to lift and prise it out but, either the screw is stripped of threads or the threads in the atty are gone?

decoy *-SARIN-* it's the atty threads that have gone. Is there anything you could use to plug it seems such a shame

I'm surprised it's the atty threads, soft pinoy alloy i expect.  Fill it with silicon, failing that a tampon.

Ha ha ha thanks *-SARIN-*

For the price it ain't worth trying to sort it tbh, either it was faulty to start or he really did give it some beans when tightening, it's only a small screw after all.

If you know anyone with an orginal lemo they come with some silicone plugs that you can use instead of a fill screw, might be ideal.

a snug fitting elastic band with enough width may solve it?? tho as a newbie im not speaking/typing with any authority, depending on the juice used it may corrode or eat rubber??
