6pk rear carb adjustment tool
« on: June 02, 2010 - 11:20:32 PM »
 :bananasmi    I bought a tool in the blind going by a motor cycle vendors description thinking it may work to adjust the rear carb on 6pk engines. Well as it turned out, he lied just to make the sale.  I sat down tonight and modified the tool. I figured I had nothing to loose since it wasn't doing me any good and it cost me almost 40 bucks to get it.  It isn't perfect, since I just modified it and tried it out to see if I was doing any good and   wellah----------I can adjust my air mixture screws now on my rear carb.  I installed the promax billet blocks already, so I am able to jet the outboards now to better tune the system. I really didn't want to spring the bucks for their throttle plate, so this was a major step for me at 1/5th the cost and made the system a lot more easier to tune. I will start tweaking this tool more and making it more user friendly for others. But for now, I am pleased with the results. The tool is 17 inches long so you don't have to be right up into the engine. It has a 110 degree bend with a 1 inch long tip and it is extendable, even has a screw driver type handle grip to twist with. It has a flexible inner shaft with a flat tip on the end . The outer core is rigid tough, and you can feel the pressure on the air mixture screw when you engage it.

I started the engine cold after the initial set, and immediately noticed better idle and throttle response.  This is a major step forward for tuning , when you start stepping away from original cam specs, and going to a larger cam with different demands on fuel mixture settings.

I don't think that would work TC.   Been there with the straight flexible one.  The passenger side with the fuel line, middle carb rear bolt, and choke pull off makes the hole super tight. If that tool did work, it would be brought up on many posts on different sites. I will get a picture of my tool up after I get back from wades today.
