I was just goofing around yesterday in the shop and I decided to make an easier and cheaper solution to the hard-to-reach rear carb idle screws on the Six Pack setups. Those of you who know what I am talking about can appreciate this!
I am too cheap to buy the high-dollar "Competitors"
re-designed baseplate with the relocated screw location so I set out for an alternative. I took a pair of 8-32x1"lg. 316 stainless set screws and machined my own replacement mixture screws. It is much easier to get at them being that it is a 3/32" hex. I made a quick and dirty ball-end driver so that I can make adjustments with ease! I backcut the ball-end relief some more so I can get at them at about a sixty-degree angle. I have a long version that I put the hex wrench into a 1/4" diameter MDS-filled nylon "handle" which is nothing more than drilling a pilot hole and then heating up the wrench and melting it into the stock. I put an index mark on it so I could monitor the movement accurately. The second iteration is the same concept but with a stiff spring as a compliant joint to gain access with an even more acute angle.






Works like a charm!
I just thought I would share it with you guys!
