HELP!!!! VE troubles

Went to reseal my pump head yesterday to find that the PO had reinstalled the fuel screw with what seems to be locktite. Well after a few hours heating it the screw snapped off at the o-ring midshaft. That said i'm taking it to a machine shop this AM but i'm not holding my breath. Anyone have one they want to get rid of or know of a source. Any help is appreciated.

Any competent machine shop can fix that.

Well Mark, fortunately you were right. Turns out the guy had bottomed the screw and then tried to turn further.... threads are a little loose but the O-ring is tight so what more can you ask for (a longer fuel screw of course ;-))

I believe they do make a longer screw.
