A little known carb secret

Lucky 1
People are always asking
"How do you adjust the mixture screws? The are so hard to get to."

Go get this free screw driver. It has two blades flat and phillips. Its perfect.
duracell free screwdriver


Put a magic marker mark on the copper colored part so you can count the turns.
Use one hand to turn the driver, and use one finger under the smooth bottom of
the screwdriver to hold it upward.

Thanks Lucky,

I ended up buying one of these so I could adjust my mixture screws: http://www.siriusconinc.com/pro-detail.php?pid=&product_id=3831



At first I tried to fabricate a short screwdriver out of a stubby one, but I couldn't get it short enough.

I have never seen a screwdriver that comes with batteries.  That looks like it would work great.

I got one of these too. Compared to burning yourself on a hot engine, these work great!
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
