Do you adjust your carbs with a pair of heavy-duty zircon-encrusted tweezers?

[Zedyone_kenobi]

No I use a screw driver!

Not sure what you mean by that question?

Am I missing something.

No, you are not missing anything. A bad attempt at humor on my part it seems.

Great Googley Moogley was used in a Frank Zappa song. My reply was another Zappa line.

It's alright, you didn't arouse the Central Scrutinizer... All is well...

No apology required. Frank didn't make up that line and I assumed you quoted Frank.

Now it's off to Montana to be a dental floss tycoon for me. (The tweezers ae for plucking the dental floss.)

Stephen,

I was thinking that the best tuning tool (cost wise) would be a small drill set, soldering iron and an O2 sensor.

The idea would be to simply drill jets/correctors bigger or ; solder and drill smaller to experimentally tune. Once nearly dialed in with the "mule jets", buy the correct factory machined jets that match the "mule jets".

That is awesome blue!

I would think you would need a drill press to do a good job, but you are 100% right. That is awesome

From what I read, the "pin vise" is used to drill by hand. The holes will not be as precise as factory but it should allow for very close approximations.

I also read that one must be careful to keep the solder off the mating surfaces to ensure a good seal.
