    gas in carb sync hose?

    So I finally got my Carbtune in the mail, AWESOME!

    Hooked it up and got a few questions.

    How the heck do I reach that middle screw? I've been poking and turning it with a really long nosed pair of pliers.

    Once I had it dialed in, I noticed that the clear hoses I was using had gas in them. Not alot, maybe a few drops, but enough to drip out a bit. Also, it had gas in all 4 hoses.

    Mix screws are set a 3 turns out. I was going to dial them in after the sync, but the gas in the hoses scared me a bit. Is it just some of the fuel air mix condensing in the hose?

    Motion Pro makes a tool that makes it easy to reach the middle adjuster - about $20.

    Condensation and fuel vapor gather in the tubes. Nothing to worry about.

      The tool is a combination long screwdriver with an external socket wrench

          Even that middle one? If I'm not mistaken all BS32SS have the same choke mechanism, right? the end where the choke cable attaches seems to block my extension and socket. How this is the hollow nut extension on the motion pro tool?
