Carb adjustment tool

[Dscheoeder83]

Where can I buy the "D" shaped screwdriver to adjust the carb on a new weed wacker? None of my local shops stock/offer them

Make one. Go to the DIY speed and spark tool, this forum. I have seen them advertized on Amazon.

Legally you cannot purchase one, or the dealer sell one to a customer. Under current regulations the dealer can be fined $38,500 for selling it and the customer can be fined $3,850 for procession of the tool.

Is it even worth buying one off eBay/amazon? Or pretty slim chance of being caught?

You must have a reason for saying this. Who is going to enforce this. One thing also my tool box is off limits to the tool cops. They will just have to go to a judge and get a search warrant if they want to take a look.

OK, the "why" man is asking you all this: Why are authorized dealers allowed to make the adjustment, but not private parties. I know the following (1) 2 strokes are notorious for emissions (2) exhaust gas anlalyzers are expensive. Do dealers have and use them? (3) A properly running 2 stroke motor will choke and not reach full power if the hi speed circuit (jet) is too lean (4) the two stroke will not idle if the lo speed circuit is too rich. I have seen a dealer take a chainsaw outside and do what the home owner does: open or close the hi side to ear and the low side to stop the chain at idle. That's what I would do. I love clean air and maintain full emission equipment on my exempt car. So pros please tell us if you have special equipment. I realize 20 million poor running 2 strokers could foul the air.

My jeep is going to be exempt this year. I am going to violently rip all the emission garbage out. I did this with my old 83 celica and gained about 8mpg

I made several carb adjustment tools used on the spline-type screws by using an old Bic pen. Take the writing part out of the part that you hold in your hand. Take a knife and cut the tip back just enough to make a snug, tight fit and then adjust. I've also used the tips off caulk tubes with some success as well, but they require more cutting and filing down. I'm planning on making the "D" type adjuster as well by using a nail, or old screwdriver and grind one side down to make a half circle, or "D" shape. Has anyone else made these?
