Pilot screw adjusting

Post by elevonic »

Does anyone know of a shortcut way to adjust the pilot air screws, can a tool be made up, or should I wait a few more years to get the necessary arthritic fingers! :roll: :wink:

Well I have not done it yet, but the fellow who I bought the bike from said that he fiddled and futzed around for HOURS and finally decided that the shortcut was to buy the tool, if you know what I mean.

I guess it comes down to what your time is worth. For me to spend hours and hours trying to do the job right with the wrong tools is not worth it, I'd rather spend that time riding.

If you buy the tool put take a photo of it so I can see what it looks like.
