    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Can you not change the bit to a longer one on the driver you have? I think the first one takes regular hex screw bits so I could use a longer bit to get past the float bowl?

On mine I found the bit too big to fit the VM carb, I would have to hunt mine up but as I remember the bit is part of the tool
 
On the second one you cannot change the bit, it look like a speedo or rpm wire thing.The first one is really a better quality tool.Never have any issue with the one i have it was a 30$well spent.

I just use a real stubby flat blade screwdriver I made.
Works ok for me.
 
I have a little thumb wheel that takes hex screw driver bits. I've been using it and just bare screw driver bits. My problem is that my hand doesn't fit into the space and still give me enough dexterity to turn the bit. I have a choice of either wedging my hand in the space or turning a bit but I can't seem to do both. :(

So, my option is to find a tool to make up for having fat hands. It sounds like the second/less expensive tool won't work well for the VMs. So, I guess that only leaves the more expensive tool. I'll have to add that one to the Christmas list for the wife. :D
