Title: Pilot Screw adjuster
Post by: NitramA on 27 August 2020, 07:05:37 pm: Was thinking of having a fiddle with the pilot airscrew adjusters.
Can anyone recommend a tool to do this with the carbs in situ?

If it fits the Fazer then that’s the one I’ll get.
Thanks for the response.

I believe that is the genuine Morgan Carbtune kit. Not cheap, but is the business.

Well knowing me, I got it when it was on sale or some such.

Might have to raid the piggy bank.

Post by: b1k3rdude on 29 August 2020, 08:37:36 am: I think the sealy one is inferior because just uses a coil/cable mechanisim, unlike the morgan above which has a shaft & worm drive. This i imagine has less back-lash so is more accurate etc.
