Title: Pilot screw adjusting tool
Post by: limax2 on 12 May 2021, 11:41:14 pm
If you have ever adjusted the carburettor pilot screws on the 600 Fazer you will know how restricted the space is on number 3 carb. If you have dainty fingers you might be able to use a very short screwdriver, but I can't. You can buy a bent tool for £18 which is probably good for most bikes but which I found possible but tricky to use on number 3 carb on the 600 Fazer. There is also a much more expensive tool available that uses a pair of small bevel gears and would no doubt do the job well. After seeing a similar idea to this on another forum this is a tool I made using an angled screwdriver from Toolstation for £6.59 and which makes the job a lot easier. Very pleased with the end result which makes the adjustment easy. The chrome extension tube was something I had lying about from some scrapped item.

I have this one, but the price has gone up massively since I bought it -

But it can be found on Aliexpress for closer to what I paid -

Something like this is ideal

It looks so good, I have just ordered one.

b1k3rdude. I do like nice tools and that certainly looks a handy piece of kit.


BBROWN1664. That angle screw driver is the same as what I used except I got the one with a longer body and drive shaft. But then I extended it further with a piece of tube etc. to make it easier to use and because I just like making such things.  :)
