    Pilot Screw Adjustment Tool

    A buddy and I were rejetting the carbs last weekend on my 1st gen SV and when we went to sync them, we realized its a pain to get to the pilot screws. Does anyone in the Boston/Metro West area have an adjustment tool that I can borrow. Its another one of those tools I don't really want to shell out $50-$100 to use maybe a couple of times. Since I couldn't get the job done last weekend, I ordered a few more parts so I plan to try again in another week or two when they come in.

    Hank I have one of those motionpro adjustment kits that's meant to be used trailside.

    It's not the long version like that but it's in a little black pouch and should be on the workbench.

    Looks like this:

    I've always just used a thumbwheel with a flat head screwdriver bit in it. For $7.99, it is a steep investment, but worthwhile.

    These little guys.

    Sure, you still need to get your hand in there, but two fingers gives plenty of leverage.

    Thats a tool I'd very much like to invest in. I'm sick of burning my hands tuning my toys.

    Thanks Derek, once again I would owe you. Let me know if you can get it, otherwise I will try CEO's tool.
