I've seen it posted here that the way to tell when your carb is adjusted right is to fire the engine up and sit on the ground behind the tailpipes,,,,,,,,, If you don't pass out in a couple of minutes from the rich fumes,,,,,, you're OK and it's OK,,,,!!!
I went to the local Napa and Carquest and neither one had a tool. Guess I'll have to try the 1/4" tubing trick,, i bet that will work, it only has to work one time. But I'm prolly NOT gonna do the fume test,,,,,!!!!!
Hammer and trash can???? I don't think so. Man, this is a cherry carb and from what i know about carbs,,,, you get a good one, you better hang on to it. Just like anything else.
