I did not have the tool and tried the hard straws that I had around the house but those were too big and with no luck. I went to my miscellaneous home shelving in the garage and found the EXACT can of Great Stuff Gaps and Crack sealer!!!! It worked! Way too funny. Thanks!!!!!

Very Nice dawhitewabbit, I am retired right now and worked as a machinist, we always had to come up with ideas like this. Either make a tool for something or improvise to get where we need to get to. Yours had me smiling because of how we had to figure it out, had German printing presses to work on, cost for being down was unreal so we had to get them back up and running asap. Thanks got my Huskavarna 125b running great. Eddie

I tried the pen and the straw, but my screws were so set I could not be sure if they were turning. Had the carb off when my $4 Zama kit came from across the globe, so it was easy to chuck it in a vice and make the housing-and-screwhead cut with a dremel. Now I can see I'm turning screws and can do so with a small screwdriver in wet or cold conditions. Your method was my first choice, though. thanks.

Thanks. This is helpful. For anyone else with my questions - where do you set the two jets if it won't run and you don't know which needs adjustment. Turn clockwise until the thread stops and back out 2 1/2 turns. This gives you a medium setting from which you can adjust for idle (left) or for high speed (right) - the feature of this invention here that is really cool is that you COULD leave the 'straws' attached so that you can adjust the idle while playing with the choke if it won't keep running on it's own so that you can GET it to run on it's own.

2&1/2 turns out is normally more for larger carburetors on mowers, etc. Often 3/4 turn to 1&1/2 turns out is for hand held outdoor power equipment.

Awesome ... thanks ... I used bic pen ... cut the top end off .. and bored it out with the end of some sciscors till it fit ... It slipped a bit .. but grabbed enough to turn it ... I also put a scrape accross the top of the flat head on the valve ... so I could monitor how much it turned it ... if it turned it ... this way I could follow my progress even though it slipped

You just save me from carburetor number three being replaced on my power pruner. I just turned them both counter clockwise about a quarter turn. Runs like a dream. Apparently they won’t turn clockwise, since they seem to be seated when you receive a new Carburetor.

I found the case of a cheap ball point pen works too. Just remove the thin ink tube and toss it. Then grind down the nib end of the plastic holder until it is the correct size to squeeze over the screw seals of the carby. Don't grind too much or it will be loose and not "grab" the screws. Clean out any melted plastic from within the tube with a little screw driver, file or reaming tool. EDIT: Better and permanent was to score across both screws with a hacksaw until you could turn them with a slot head screwdriver.
@leonidas147753 жыл бұрын
If I already have the carburetor off, I run a hacksaw longways across the 2 screws to cut a slot in both of them at once. This seems to be the better option if your engine is already assembled.

Ditto, but the straw I had was too flimsy. All the bodies of the pens I had were just a little too small or too big. So rummaging thru the junk drawer I found a plastic screw anchor designed for sheet rock that was the right size. It had some fins designed t9 grab the sheet rock, but they filed off easily, and now I have my own feather lite weed wacker carb tool...
@WaveAction7775 жыл бұрын
Just as easy, you can use a dremel and put a slot in the head of the screw and then just use a flat head screw driver anytime.

If u can save $ save & some1 calls u cheap then they're simply stupid & likely irresponsible. A smart person spends their $ on things NEEDED or something wanted. Not because a corporation unnecessarily creates a market for a speciality tool(s). A torx or phillips even standard-head would have sufficed. I like ur #Mcguyverism.

Everyone who has done the spline technique with straws are successful....how about those of us who have the dreaded D-Shaped head...looks like the only solution would be to purchase the tool or cut with the dremel...

Hey Carl .. mine was D as well ...trick is to be persistent while turning it .. and mine turned slightly eventually ... simply by virtue of the hollow end of a bic pen was rigid enough to grab the sides ... every so often it would grab enough to turn it an 1/8th turn or so ... see my post above

I have the mini d on a walbro carb. Bought the tool, didn't work, too loose. Tried insulation from a 12 gauge wire, was able to move the high jet a quarter turn after messing with it for 2 hours. Also tried metal from crimp connector, was a little too big. Wish I could find a tool that fit...

Poor advice. A new carb can cost up to $70.00. A set of specialty carb adjusting screw drivers is under $20.00 and can be used over and over. Further a carb kit for repair averages roughly $15.00 with shipping.
