Broken idle screw tip

Anybody got a suggestion to get the broken idle screw tip dislodged? It happened on my wife's Kz400D3 1976.

Now how did you break that off in there...?
Nevermind :laugh:

Use lots o' compressed air like 100psi from compressor and just fit a small piece of hose onto the end of the spray nozzle and cut the end curved to fit over the screw opening.
Then press the trigger and blow out the little guy.

A little spray of penetrant first helps too.

GL!
