Title: carburator mixture screw adjustment
Post by: kevt on 06 December 2014, 01:24:58 pm: Hi can anyone tell where and what sort of screwdriver I need to adjust the fuel mixture with the carbs still fitted. Have looked at right angled screwdriver but not sure if they will fit :)
thanks for your help

Not cheap. :(
