The problem with drilling is if you're not careful, you can put shavings in your tank.

The shavings will still find their way into the tank once it breaks through

That was my first thought, that the shavings would get into the tank and clog up the carbs.

I wound up just putting a screw driver in the key hole and twisted it with a vice grip, it just popped out then I installed the new one

Sweet! If I helped, I'm glad that I did! If you figured it out for yourself, well then great minds think alike!
