carburator mixture screw adjustment - kevt - 06-12-14

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 Smile
thanks for your help

You need a special 90 deg 'driver for this job - most you find Halfords and other tool shops aren't thin enough to get at the carbs over the starter motor. 

Not cheap.  Sad

Is that a screwdriver that's bent or one with a ratchet type mechanism
