I picked up what i believe to be an 82 carbs for 5 bucks at a local junk yard.. looks like the one on my bike..
I wouldnt know what an 83 looks like..
Figured... spare parts in case of whatever..
after cleaning off all the gunk and taking it apart.. i noticed the pilot screw on the rear carb is impossible to take out... really hard to turn and head almost stripped flat...can hear the brass squeak
is there a way to get it out for replacement?
some special kinda lube?
other than that... everything come clean and looks great.
Or is it now just a paperweight?
Try soaking the stuck screw with PB Blaster. I used to swear by liquid wrench until I found this stuff. Either one works better than WD-40 for stuck fasteners. If you can find Aero-Kroil, that works great as well.
The screw may just be binding with the o-ring seal. That's probably the squeak you hear.

PB-Blaster is fantastic stuff, but BEWARE it STINKS!!! Wear rubber gloves!
if you can get it out (i know i can) i have a replacement for you.

Heres where I got it from. Hint - you can right click on the picture and save it then print it out full size. I printed one out to see how it would look in my garage before I bought one. ;D
