    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Screw driver or tool to actually fit pilot jets

Does anyone make a screw driver or tool that exactly fits GS1100 pilot jets & mixture screws ? It seems like 90% of the carbs I run across for the 34 mm Cv carbs are already ruined when I get them or so tight they are impossable to remove without buggering up the screw heads
 
I have found them at Sears and many other places. :o

The trick is to get all new screws, jets, etc. for the carb, then take the carb into the store and keep testing drivers until you find what fits. When you find what fits, don't use those drivers for anything else, so you can keep them in good shape.

i gave like 7 bucks years ago off the snap on truck.
he stopped by and i had him bring in a few straight blades till i found one that barely fit into the carb body...
black handled..i should go get a part number for ya eh?
i never looked back and only use this for the mixture and small jet purposes.
this even get buggered ones out most the time!

this fits so tight you may bring up very little aluminum shaving from the carb body!
if the jets still stuck hit with some propane for a few seconds and maybe a left handed easy out.
 
You need a hollow ground flat blade screwdriver. McMaster Carr sells them. Gun smithing screwdrivers will work.
 
I take bigger ones and grind them to a tight fit.
It's all in the wrist action after that.
