not a huge deal. You will be pulling the left rocker assembly. The nuts are right there, 11mm or so. Take off the rocker shaft for that cylinder. The snapped valve adjuster screw remnant will thread right out the backside of the threaded boss.
There is one 'spring' you need to set right when you reassemble, the pushrod tube retainer spring that keeps the tubes in place. Make sure that spring is pressing IN on the bottom lip of the tubes. Not UP at you pushrods. |

Is it just me because I don't see the push rod tube retaining spring in that picture.

If it's there it's well hidden.
Use caution when replacing the rocker assembly, those nuts strip super easy, 9' lbs torque IIRC.

Ryan! How is your idle holding up after our little twist Monday night?
When we talked about cold start idle speed, this is the screw I wanted to point at but didn't want to get my white shirt dirty.
On a stone cold engine, remove the air filter. Observe choke plates. Tap the throttle one time and make sure the choke plates close slightly on a warm day. Snugly on a cold day. Observe the gap at the screw tip (shown) once the choke is adjusted correctly. Close the gap and go approximately one turn in. Start the engine, and be ready to turn the screw up or down to get an idle that fires on all four cylinders, no higher. It may take a day or two to get it perfect if your choke is out, or if your carb is more sensitive than others.
See you on the road,
Robbie
