Me and my buddy was working on getting the 450r carb ready to put on the 400 and we was trying to install the main jets and we got 3 screws off but the 4th screw is stripped any ideas of how to get it off

if the head of the screw is still there, I've took some vise grips and got them off before.

Yes vise grips work well.

you can also use a dremel to cut a slot in the screw and use a flat head screwdriver.

Vise grips or if it's really bad small needle nose plyers.

Unless the head is completely stripped you may be able to beat the screw driver in to the screws head with a hammer and then turn it. Just another idea.
