​Remote Carburetor Adjusting Tool



Kevin Grapes has submitted this tip for adjusting the carb on an enclosed engine.
Carbs are hard to adjust. Install a copper tube guide to help keep your tool aligned even when the cowling us in place. Only using a hole the size of your tool is needed thru the cowling. The guide does the rest.

The brass guide has been fabricated and installed in the engine compartment.
