Can't get the two flathead screws on the end of the starter motor cap removed. Despite soaking in plus gas. Any help appreciated

Buggers aren't they, I had this problem. I used an impact screw driver with the largest flat bit you can buy, hit it with the hammer and the bit broke!! Resorted to applying gentle heat with a blow torch, that worked.

Yeah just keep trying, if all else fails vice grips are your friend.

Aye, vice (mole?) grips (good ones) and screwdriver if needed. They'll shift.
