On the DLTX-26 and -46 carburetors, there are three different sizes of brass drill plugs - one that has 1/4-28 threads, one has #12-32 threads, five have #10-32 threads. The brass economizer has 5/16-24 threads.

Use a torch to heat the plug until you see a flash of green. Then start drilling using a left-hand drill bit. It'll probably unscrew as you
are drilling.

It has been mentioned, but I have had good luck with a little heat (not like heating a bolt) then a LH drill bit and small screw extractor.

I found the small brass plugs and jets in CI carbs come out easily after some heat from a propane torch, just till it smokes a little, then clamp it to the bench and use two hands and some chin on the screwdriver.
