    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.

Getting the pilots out?

Going to sound daft but is there a set length and size screwdriver that you need to get that fits the pilot jets slot and is long enough?

I dont have any flat bladed screwdrivers. I use these sorts of screwdriver kits.

Grinding one down to fit isnt going to work as they dont do them long enough. I need a starting point of which to buy and then grind down.

Can anybody help here?

If not, does anybody know if you can clean the pilot jets in the carb with carb cleaner or the like?

Cheers.
 
Pilot jets aren?t usually that hard to remove...just get a flat blade screwdriver and taper/grind it back to fit perfectly in slot. Mixture screws are usually tougher to extract

Get a set of these for your plain screwdriver needs. The Philips drivers won't be any use on JIS screws as you probably know by now, though.

If you need a longer, thin carb screwdriver, you have to look further.
