Use a large flat blade screwdriver and an adjustable wrench on the shank of the screwdriver.  You may want to mount the carb first so that you have leverage.   Use teflon tape on the threads of the new fitting.  Joe-JDC

Thanks Joe, the carburetor is installed. I’m going to spray it with WD 40 and let it sit for a while. I thought of filing down the sides of the plug and putting a wrench on it but want to try easy first. On second thought I think I’ll use a hacksaw blade and deepen the screw slot then try the screw driver/wrench.
