Yesterday I decided to clean my carb. I recently purchased the motor and it wasn't running great. When I went to unscrew the main jet screw, with a flat head screw driver with almost no pressure half of the screw head sheared off.

Grabbed the needle nose as half of the head of the jet screw was still there and just for fun, wiggled it slightly. It also came right off.

I ordered a new carb, which was probably needed anyway, but I just curious if anyone else has had this issue? If so, what do you think might cause this?
