I've seen screwdrivers custom modified to just fit in and hold these jets. You can do this yourself on a grinding wheel. Just grind back both sides until you have a protrusion in the center and a recessed edge on both sides. The center protrusion holds the jet while the edges fit in the slot and turn it. The only problem is that you have to have a jet in hand to make the mods to the screwdriver, so this is probably a good thing to do while you have the carb apart. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
