Old Cox .010
I have a pair of the old "original" Cox .010's that I got back in the 60's. One has the prop screw broken off. Is there a repair facility for these engines?

Another Brunswickian? Our group grows to three! We will rival the Carolina's! My workbench is your workbench. I'm in the book. Hmmm... Only two clubs nearby...Do I already know you?

If you can poke at it with a scriber you may be able to tease it out enough to get a set of pliers onto the stub. Usually broken screws like this are not tight in the hole. I believe it's just a 2/56 screw to replace it.

Hmmm... A flowing gas co2 laser is simple and cheap. A hundred watts or so should do it. Definite possibities... It'd be easier than putting a carb on a reedie!
How about sticking it in a drill press. If you haven't tried that, it may work. (I've got one) Got your pm, I may call after work and see if your interested.

Seriously, though. They do make "easy-outs" and outher screw extractors that are small enough, but you would have to drill a hole through it first, which is kinda the hard part. The best thing to try would probably be a left hand drill bit. See if you can find like a 1/16" left hand drill bit, and start drilling it out with that (preferably secured in a drill press). If all goes well, you won't even have to dill all the way through, and the bit will grab and spin the screw right out counter-clockwise. Or someone could build you a laser. Good luck,

Ubird,
I would suggest you contact Tim Wiltse here on the forum and ask him. Tim handles all of my Cox engines and does a great job on them. I'm sure he can fix your ittybitty engine. He has a website but if you just do a search on Tim here in this forum I'm sure he will pop up.
good luck... I love my small ones...
